## Resource

Alyssa Middleton, a Kanawha County EMS driver, faces life-altering charges after allegedly hitting and dragging John Lucas for nearly two miles in April. Now back in court, the case hinges on pending toxicology results and a contentious battle over confidential mental health records from the victim — with the judge ordering private review before release. The defense is also granted extra funds to bring in an expert witness as both sides prep to sift through mountains of video and photo evidence ahead of trial, scheduled for October 13th at 1:30 PM.
