Sheriff Wayne Ivey (Republican) has now backed out of 3 major debates against his Democratic challenger Alton Edmond.
The two were scheduled to debate on October 6th in a forum hosted by the Brevard Association of Women Lawyers. Ivey’s campaign wanted assurances from the group that they would not ask him questions about the now infamous death of combat Army Veteran Gregory Edwards.
The case is arguably the biggest issue of the election, with voters on both sides not happy with how Ivey has handled the situation, and refusing to release the video footage of the altercation in the jail that lead to his death, nor parts of his remains to the family.
