Felner Update

CJ's Nancy Rodriguez provided a brief update on the Robert Felner case on Comment on Kentucky this weekend. Somebody put it on You tube. Thanks to Jake for posting the video at Page One.



Page One also has a piece on a recent court filing. A motion from the U.S. Attorney’s Office counters Felner's claim that he thought he was under arrest. The transcript reads in part:

"You are not under arrest today. Uh, You know, I’m not here to arrest you, or what, you know, at the end of the day, you get up and go home and do whatever you want to do."

Updated update:

Judge rules Felner was not subject

to a custodial interrogation.

Felner's Motion to Suppress Statements denied.

Trials of Robert Felner and Thomas Schroeder not separated.

Courier-Journal: Missing in Action

The Robert Felner story continues to grow with allegations of substantial wrongdoing now being made. The story involves public money; shadow organizations; and failure to report; and future repercussions for the University of Louisville - one of the state's most important public universities.

I see Page One Kentucky, which broke the story a while back.
I see WHAS TV 11.
I even see the little bitty Kenosha News.

But, where oh where has the Courier-Journal gone?

Page One says Nancy Rodriguez "sounded really nervous" when she assured them that she wasn't being silenced on the Felner story.

Yet...nothing ...but silence.

I wonder why.

KSN&C welcomes C-J to the Education blogosphere

The Learning Curve, a new education blog put together in time for the start of the 2007-08 school year by the education writers of The Courier-Journal; Nancy C. Rodriguez, Toni Konz and Daarel Burnette.

We are very excited about this new opportunity to communicate with our readers about different things going on in the world of education that don't necessarily make the print edition of the newspaper.

We plan on using this blog as a place to post events and snippets that are taking place in classrooms, schools, colleges and universities both locally and across the state. We also would like to use it as a way to give our readers a "Behind the Scenes" look at some of the stories that do make it into the paper and first-person accounts of some of the stories we cover. We plan to post at least three or four times a week, maybe more.
