Civil court documents in the Western District of Kentucky reveal T.W. to be Terry Whitehead, a Louisville resident who filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in May 2018, still ongoing, against Schwartz and another officer involved in the incident.
Schwartz took his role in the cover-up even further, filing a citation against Whitehead for third-degree felony assault. In Kentucky, this kind of assault is considered a Class D felony, which carries with it a potential prison term of five years and a mandatory minimum of one year. He was charged with and pleaded guilty to filing false reports and depriving Whitehead of his civil rights.
The criminal charges levied against Schwartz carry a potential term of imprisonment of up to 50 years, although guilty pleas curry substantial favor with the courts when determining a sentence. The charge against Gentry carries a maximum sentence of 20 years.
Is this the same state that Mike Pence is right now complimenting law enforcement?
