“On Monday, Hash walked out of the Culpeper County courthouse with the charges against him dismissed, 12 years after being wrongly convicted of murder. Now 31, Hash hugged his mother tightly when she burst into tears. He struggled for words as the decision began to sink in. However, Scott Jenkins, one of the lead investigators, whose role the judge described as ‘outrageous misconduct . . . because it was intentional, and not merely negligent,’ is now Culpeper County sheriff.”
