Baker v. Commonwealth, NO. 2006-CA-000148-MR, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, June 22, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the trial court did not hold a formal hearing, did not enter findings to support its decision to vacate defendant's public defender appointment, and made no inquiries as to the amount of defendant's income, nor did it consider any of the other factors listed in Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 31.120(2), defendant was entitled to a new trial.

Boggs v. Griffith, NO. 2006-CA-001813-MR, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, June 22, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court properly ruled that a conveyance created a nonexclusive easement over appellants' property, as the language of a deed was ambiguous as to whether an easement or a grant of a fee simple interest was intended, and therefore the trial court properly admitted testimony of the grantor that he intended to convey an easement.

Carpenter v. Commonwealth, NO. 2006-CA-001012-MR, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, June 22, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 17.500 et seq. registration requirement constituted a purely collateral consequence which implicated neither the constitutionality of defendant's plea nor his counsel's effectiveness, defendant could not withdraw his plea based on the court's failure to inform him that he would have to register as a sex offender.

Overview: Grant of relief to inmate under Ky. R. Crim.

View this case - free  

Overview: Prisoner's petition for a declaration that DOC erroneously designated him as a violent offender was properly denied because he automatically became a violent offender under the plain meaning of Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 439.3401(1)(l), which controlled over 501 Ky. Admin. Regs. 1:030(3)(1)(b), when he pled guilty to first degree robbery.
