LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 24, 2025)– Attorney General Russell Coleman and Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney Gerina D. Whethers released the following statements today after the Kentucky Supreme Court’s order for a new trial in the case of the 2020 killing of three-year-old Trinity Randolph and her father:
Attorney General Russell Coleman:
“The slaying of three-year-old Trinity Randolph is personal for me. I stood with her mother at her Disney ‘Frozen’ coffin, and I’ll never forget the princess shoes she wore. I’m determined to bring Trinity’s killer to justice. It’s heartbreaking that her family and this community are forced to re-live that awful day and the painful trial.
“The Office of the Attorney General will keep supporting Commonwealth’s Attorney Gerina Whethers and her team as they continue to prosecute this case and deliver justice for Trinity.”
Commonwealth’s Attorney Gerina D. Whethers:
“This is far from the end of our efforts to fight for three-year-old Trinity Randolph and her father, Brandon Waddles. Our prosecutors will proactively pursue a conviction based on the evidence and ensure accountability. A father and his daughter should still be with us, but are not. We will make sure that their family gets proper justice and our community stays safe.”
