Latest update on Illegal Mining Case in Leslie County

KFTC member Randy Wilson was present to show support for long time member Raleigh Adams and Mary Jane Adams at a hearing in Leslie County

This morning KFTC members Raleigh and Mary Jane Adams traveled to a Leslie County courtroom in hopes that a judge would order Whymore Coal Company to immediately halt an illegal mining operation on the couple's property. The couple had previously filed an injunction and restraining order against the company once the company broke their contract for wheelage and illegally moved equipment onto their property and started mining.

The judge overseeing the Adams case postponed hearing the case and making a ruling until next Tuesday due to a lack of time to properly hear the case. However, the judge did rule that the coal company should not mine or step back onto the Adams's property until their case is heard on Tuesday. This means that Mary Jane and Raleigh's land should be safe for the next couple of days.

I sat thru this court proceeding on Tuesday and I have never seen so much injustice in my life and I have seen alot. Perjury was rampant.
