    Weak allegations of possible conflitc of interests. Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Richard Busch has decided against recusing himself from the case:
    “In an effort to quash any perception of partiality, Busch told The Inter-Mountain Tuesday he would remain on case based on a recommendation from the West Virginia Prosecuting Attorney’s Institute. Busch explained Faulkner is his older sister’s ex-husband’s stepsister”.
    Philip W. Morrison, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Institute, responded to Busch’s inquiry by e-mail stating, “I see no personal interest in the outcome and hence no conflict.”
