View this case - free  

Overview: Because officer's initial traffic stop of defendant had not been completed in 14 minutes before K-9 unit arrived, appellate court found no unreasonable or unjustified detention, or any other constitutional implications.

Estate of Turner v. Globe Indem. Co., NO. 2005-CA-002580-MR, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, March 2, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: Counsel's failure to claim protection against burglary, under Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 503.080(2)(b), was not ineffective assistance because of the issues involved, as self-protection was argued, but whether counsel should have argued that the domestic violence exception to serving 85 percent of a sentence applied to defendant should have been heard.

Hensley v. Commonwealth, NO. 2005-CA-001684-MR, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, March 2, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Indictment charging defendant, inter alia, with burglary second degree was not dismissed because his counsel's notes regarding the terms of a plea agreement were not made part of the record on appeal and a sheriff's testimony that defendant had to return all the stolen items, which he did not do, was substantial evidence of the agreement's terms.

View this case - free  

Overview: As there could be no punitive damages absent proximate cause, and Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 413.241(1) provided that a dram shop's sale of alcohol could not be the proximate cause of any injury caused by an intoxicated tortfeasor, a trial court erred by awarding a passenger who was injured by a drunk driver punitive damages against a nightclub.

Park v. Commonwealth, NO. 2006-CA-000145-MR, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, March 2, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the checks written by defendant were drawn upon an account that was not authorized for writing checks, they were negotiated without proper legal authority; consequently, because the checks fell under former Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 368.100(6), the trial court did not err by failing to dismiss the charges against defendant.

View this case - free
