Dying In A Loophole

The family of a slain DeKalb County sheriff-elect lost another round today in a battle to collect for his death.
…
Brown was gunned down in December 2000, just days before taking office. Then-Sheriff Sidney Dorsey was later convicted of plotting his rival's killing and was sentenced to life in prison.
…
After Brown's December 2000 murder, his widow received 75-thousand dollars from a state fund, but she argued her family would have received more had the killing taken place after he took office. Brown had resigned from his post as a sheriff's deputy after his election victory, so he wasn't treated as if he'd been killed in the line of duty.
He was the Sheriff-elect. DeKalb County should do right with his family. That's all I have to say on the matter.
