Protecting the Vulnerable

In 2018, Richie was elected as the Graves County Commonwealth's Attorney, where he implemented a variety of new programs and earned a reputation for aggressively prosecuting criminals while also offering comprehensive support to victims through the following:
-
Created the Vulnerable Victim's Unit, focused on predators of child abuse.
-
Created the Drug Enforcement Unit, focused on drugs, gangs and related violence
-
Strengthened and Expanded the Multi-Disciplinary Team--a group of professionals from various agencies who work together to address child abuse and neglect cases.
Today, Richie serves as a part-time Special Prosecutor for the Kentucky's Office of the Attorney General.
Richie and his wife Jennifer live in Graves County with their three children. When he's not in the courtroom, you can find him on the court, coaching his daughters' basketball teams.
