741. COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY  VS.  MORGAN (WILLIAM) 
Breathalyzer Testing. Statutory rights.
Commonwealth of Kentucky appeals from the Campbell Circuit Court’s order reversing and remanding the Campbell District Court’s order holding that William Morgan’s statutory rights under Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 189A.105(4) were violated subsequent to his arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol (“DUI”). The circuit court held that the violation of Morgan’s statutory rights mandated suppressing the results of Morgan’s breathalyzer test.

742. MATTHEWS (MACK)  VS.  COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY 
Criminal Law.
Matthews claims the trial court twice abused its discretion. First by denying his pretrial request to be tried separately from co-defendant Anthony Ball2 and then by denying a requested mistrial after Ball suggested police violated the law prompting another jury admonition from the bench. Having reviewed the record, briefs and law, we affirm.
