Money, law and access in state police case
The Register-Herald traced a 1993 malicous prosecution suit by Hinton attorney Joseph Aucremanne against the state police and Trooper Ron C. Jones. The case was sealed after settlement, with nearly $120000 awarded for damages and expenses. FOIA requests revealed the agency violated open records law and a 1986 WV Supreme Court ruling, prompting criticism of police respect for the law.
