Bess v. Bracken County Fiscal Court, NO. 2005-CA-000541-MR, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, December 1, 2006, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: County ordinance that banned the possession of pit bull terriers was not invalid. It was supplemental to, rather than inconsistent with, Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. ch. 258, which banned vicious dogs generally, as it did not limit ch. § 258's application but instead provided a more comprehensive plan of protection.

View this case - free

Hutson v. Commonwealth, NO. 2005-CA-002289-MR, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, December 1, 2006, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court properly entered a nunc pro tunc pretrial order memorializing appellant's arraignment and plea of not guilty to a charge of being a persistent felony offender, as the Commonwealth discovered evidence of the arraignment and plea after appellant's conviction was reversed, and the reversal did not require dismissal of the charge.

View this case - free  

Overview: A mother had standing to appeal the trial court's denial of her petition for involuntary termination of a father's parental rights with respect to their child, as Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 625.110, which allowed appeals only from an order granting such a petition, was unconstitutional for violating the right to appeal guaranteed by Ky. Const. § 115.

View this case - free  

Overview: Absent a special agreement to do so, made when the contract was entered into, there was no obligation upon a landlord to repair leased premises. Even if the lease provision at issue imposed an affirmative duty on the landlord to make repairs, the landlord was not liable for personal injuries arising from its breach of the agreement to repair.

Robinson v. Robinson, NO. 2006-CA-001095-ME, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, December 1, 2006, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Because father's pursuit of custody modification occurred within two years of custody award, he had to file motion to modify under Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 403.340(2) with affidavits showing grounds for modification. As he failed to do so, trial court had no authority to modify custody, and mother should have been permitted to relocate with children.

Southers v. Commonwealth, NO. 2005-CA-001685-MR, COURT OF APPEALS OF KENTUCKY, December 1, 2006, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Because was unreasonable for officer to believe that crime was in progress, exigent circumstances did not justify officer's warrantless entry into defendant's motel room. Since he had no justifiable reason to enter room without warrant, drugs and paraphernalia in the room, which were the fruits of the illegal entry, should have been suppressed.
