Episode Details

Sheriff Adam King is doubling down, refusing to step down despite a looming new trial over allegations he retaliated against a key witness. After a mistrial in his first trial — which centered on accusations he punished his chief deputy for cooperating in a harassment probe — King remains defiant, vowing to serve the voters who elected him. Though restricted to three days a week and barred from contacting witnesses, he’s still running the Sheriff’s Office. His defense opted not to call any witnesses, including himself, arguing the prosecution failed to prove its case. The former deputy, James Saulter, who was fired by King and placed on leave during the investigation, says he’s at peace with the jury’s deadlock and admits the ordeal has been devastating for him and his family. King’s legal team remains confident, and he’s determined to keep doing the job — even as the legal storm rages on.
