I worked closely with Ron Ball for over three years as a member of the legal team that convicted triple murderer, Lori Vallow. On that case, Ron's leadership of the exceptional, interagency law enforcement partnership that worked together, strove justice for the victims and focused on getting the right outcome, in the right way for all the right reasons is an outstanding example of the finest law enforcement work out there. It should be textbook reading in police academies. Ron is uniquely and outstandingly qualified to the be Sheriff of Madison County.
