Adams v. Com., 2002-CA-001331
-- Not Published; Affirmed -- PDF - TextDennis Adams appeals from a conviction by the
Christian Circuit Court for first degree assault. The jury
fixed a sentence of thirteen years, which the trial court
imposed. On appeal, Adams asserts that statements made during
the Commonwealth’s closing argument rose to the level of

Albritton v. Com., 2001-CA-002468 -- Not Published; Affirmed.
Pro se appellant pled to manslaughter in the first degree which resulted in a twenty year setence. He subsequently pled to possession of contraband and and PFO 2nd which generated a five year sentence to run consecutively. Albritton filed a “Motion for Concurrent Sentencing pursuant to KRS 532.110, KRS 532.030 and CR 60.02" that was denied by the circuit court. This appeal is predicated on the notion that it was error for the court below to deny the CR 60.02 motion. Court rejects the argument as the motion is alleging an error of law by the circuit court. The court cites various old cases in support of the conclusion that errors of law are not properly brought under CR 60.02.

Alea v. Com., 2002-CA-000417-MR --
Not Published; Affirmed.
Pro se Alea appeals Fayette Circuit Court's denial of his motion to vacate his PFO sentence. The PFO status was based on an Indiana burglary that resulted in a plea agreement. The final judgment in Indiana did not accurately reflect the agreement. Indiana made the correction and appellant argues that vitiated the PFO status. The court disagrees saying that the sentence did not change and thus neither did his PFO status in Kentucky.

the Clark Circuit Court revoking his conditional discharge,

service of his sentence for a sex offense. Appellant's discharge was revoked because he was held to have had a knife and threatened a co-resident, as well as the possession of material depicting partial or complete nudity in violation of the
conditions of his release. The court's interest is peaked by a First Amendment argument comparing the materials to Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel, it ultimately is unpersuaded.

A.W. v. Com., 2001-CA-002411
-- Published; Reversed and Remanded -- PDF - TextThis matter is on discretionary review from an
order of the Campbell Circuit Court which affirmed an order by
the juvenile division of the Campbell District Court holding a
public offender in contempt for violation of the conditions of
her probation. Although we agree with the circuit court that
the juvenile court was within its authority to impose contempt,
we conclude that the juvenile court's exercise of this authority did not afford basic due process to the child. Hence, we
reverse and remand for further proceedings.
