Kentucky's Modern Day Hatfields and McCoys

Move over Hatfields and McCoys. There's a modern-day battle that has been going on in Central Kentucky for nearly 10 years, and there's no sign of when the fighting might stop. Unlike the infamous Hatfield-McCoy feud of the late 1800s, in which the weapons of choice were guns, knives and fists, the weapons in this fight are attorneys and the courts. And, a TV set, not a hog, is at the center of this dispute.
