Panel reduces Lockett's fine
Former Knox County Law Director Bill Lockett, who was sentenced to a year of probation and six months of home detention for failure to file income tax returns, now faces a $1,000 fine for failure to file a conflict-of-interest statement on time. The Tennessee Ethics Commission voted 4-1 on Tuesday to set the penalty at $1,000, down from a $10,000 penalty tentatively assessed earlier. The commission reconsidered the fine after Lockett and his secretary filed affidavits that the filing had been sent on time but apparently was never received by state regulators.

DA announces new abuse unit and prosecutorial strategy
Shelby County District Attorney General Bill Gibbons this week created a new special victims unit to prosecute all rapes, aggravated rape, child sexual abuse and severe physical abuse cases. He also announced the unit will handle cases "vertically," which means one or two prosecutors will stay with cases from start to finish. (Under "horizontal" prosecution, different lawyers handle a case as it moves through the process.) Gibbons argues the vertical method produces a better work product and provides better service to victims and their families.

Napolitano visit focuses on flood, crime collaboration
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was in the state on Wednesday to find out what more can be done to help Tennesseans recover from springtime floods. While in town she met with emergency management officials but also used the visit to announce a new collaboration with southeastern states to share information about criminal activity. She also announced an expanded "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign, which encourages the public to report suspicious activity to law enforcement. She countered critics who have argued such a program will encourage ethnic and racial profiling.

Goble inducted as new judge
Montgomery County General Sessions Judge Ken Goble Jr. was sworn in to office on Tuesday by retired Judge John Peay as a standing-room-only crowd watched the ceremony. After putting on his robe for the first time, Goble remarked, "It's kinda heavy, but it fits." Goble was elected to fill the remainder of Judge John Hestle's term after the late judge died in 2008. The seat initially was filled by interim judge Elizabeth "Sissy" Rankin, who was selected by the county commission to serve until an election could be held.
