LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A grand jury has decided that no criminal charges will be filed in a Bardstown, Kentucky, stabbing death.
James Keene, 32, was found dead from stab wounds at a duplex on Camptown Road, not far from Bloomfield Road, on April 26. Police had said in June that a self defense ruling "remains very much in the picture."
A Nelson County grand jury on Wednesday heard testimony from witnesses and decided that no charges should be filed based upon Kentucky’s self defense laws. According to a statement from the Nelson County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, the grand jury presentation spanned six hours and included witness testimony from "an expert requested by the Keene family as well as other fact witnesses and the investigating officers."
