Trooper's sister alleges impropriety against county commissioner

On Feb. 16, 2023, my brother, Trooper Lewis Johnson was run over while working in the Lincoln County community. The defendant, Jason Miller was charged with attempted deliberate homicide. 

I believe County Commissioner Josh Letcher visited the defendant in the Lincoln County detention center under the veil of prison ministry. Commissioner Letcher then made a plea directly to the Attorney General seeking leniency for Miller, a two-time felon who had just tried to murder my brother. 

At no point did Letcher contact our family or visit my brother during his 12 days in the ICU fighting for his life. Letcher never asked my brother if he thought the charges were appropriate.
