One More Question

When you call 911, you place your life in a system: the crew that shows up, the equipment on the truck, the training behind it, the county budget that pays for all of it. 

In September 2017, that system failed Luke Hinkel. Nearly nine years later, the Kentucky Supreme Court is weighing a question that sounds like it's about a paper map and a broken defibrillator- but is really about something bigger: when the people we trust to save us don't follow the rules written to save us, who, if anyone, has to answer? 

This week on One More Question, I take you inside the case of Brock v. Hinkel- through my interviews with Luke's ex-wife, who has spent almost a decade fighting closed doors, and the family's attorney, plus the arguments made before the justices last month. It's a story about maps, machines, and a legal line most Kentuckians have never heard of that decides who has to answer when the system built to save you fails.
