Bevin freed by Kentucky appeals court as contempt sentence stays

TL;DR Summary
Kentucky's Court of Appeals ordered former Gov. Matt Bevin released from a 60-day jail sentence for contempt, staying the sentence while he pursues his appeal and arguing the punishment did not allow him a purge of contempt and that continued confinement could be an unlawful injury; the arrest and confinement stem from missed hearings in a civil child-support case and disputes over producing records.
