This is a reference page for information regarding the investigation of misconduct allegations against Jay Scott (Democrat), former Macon County State's Attorney. The articles linked here and any written summaries have not been vetted by me. This is also not guaranteed to be comprehensive.
Articles
I performed two searches on Herald & Review, one for Greg Mattingley, one for Jay Scott, and have compiled a list of articles here. I did not include any Letters to the Editor (there were several that appeared to approve of Jay Scott) and likely missed some articles. I have included some articles not directly related to the case, but not many.
Most of the articles are written by Ryan Voyles. Some are written by Allison Petty. There are a couple other authors as well.
