On December 10, 2014 the Supreme Court of Kentucky (SCOKY) will hear oral arguments on theft by deception against birth parents who solicited and accepted money from from prospective adoptive parents in Commonwealth of Kentucky vs. Michael Young (9;00 am); the propriety of a jury’s use of the prosecutor’s laptop to replay audiotape of a drug transaction admitted into evidence as an exhibit in Commonwealth of Kentucky vs. Floyd Wright (10 am); whether a defendant who made a plea bargain with the Commonwealth’s Attorney to not revoke his postincarceration supervision is entitled to the benefit of that bargain even though KRS 532.043(5) gives full authority to the Parole Board to make that determination in Mikail Sajjaad Muhammad v. Kentucky Parole Board (11 am).
Issues to be addressed in cases to be argued on December 11, 2014 are: the proper measure of damages for removal of underground limestone absent reduction in the fair market value of the real estate in trespass claim in Harrod Concrete and Stone Co. v. B. Todd Crutcher (9 am); locally implemented driving school program set up by county attorney and the imposition of court costs – KRS 186.574(6), Drive Safe Louisville and Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.04 in Hon Ann Bailey Smith, Chief Judge, Jefferson District Court v. Commonwealth of Kentucky, Ex Rel Michael J. O’Connell, et al (10 am); Post-Verdict Juror Statements. Issues include: (1) whether the elements of the stalking statute are met where the victim does not fear for her own safety, but does fear for the safety of others; (2) whether jurors’ post-verdict comments suggesting that they may have misinterpreted the instructions are admissible to impeach the verdict in Theodore Maras v. Commonwealth of Kentucky (11 am).
