Valentine V Com, 2003-CA-001433-MR--Not To Be Published; 2003-CA-000855-MR Affirming -MR -- PDF

Gregory Valentine has appealed from a final judgment and sentence of the Jefferson Circuit Court entered on June 9, 2003. The judgment followed Valentine's conviction of two counts of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of fourth-degree assault. We conclude that the trial court did not err either by submitting the second count of sexual abuse to the jury or by limiting the evidence presented with respect to a threat that Valentine made against the victim.

Vanderford V Com, 2003-CA-001360--Not To Be Published; Affirming -- PDF

Fayette Milton Vanderford appeals his conviction for robbery in the first degree. On appeal, Vanderford argues that the Fayette Circuit Court erred when it denied his pretrial motion for a competency evaluation. Appellant argues that the trial court was alerted to the fact that Vanderford was excessively religious and this religiosity rendered Vanderford incapable of assisting in his own defense and rendered him incapable of making decisions in his best interest. Appellant argues that the trial court erred when it denied Vanderford’s sixth and final motion for mistrial based on cumulative error.

Vaughn v. Com, 2003-CA-000788 -- Not Published; Affirming -- PDF

At the time of the trial in this case, KRE 608 provided that a witness’ credibility was subject to attack by evidence in the form of opinion or reputation of character, but only as to general reputation in the community. The issue we must decide is whether, under KRE 608, the trial court erred by failing to permit David Vaughn to elicit from a schoolteacher testimony as to the victim’s reputation for untruthfulness in her school. As we conclude that the trial court properly excluded this testimony under the facts of this case, we affirm.
