A jury of the Garrard Circuit Court convicted Appellant, Owen Ray Gadd,
of two counts of first degree sodomy of a child under the age of twelve . For
these crimes, Appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment. Appellant now
appeals to this Court as a matter of right. Ky. Const. § 110(2)(b) . For the
reasons set forth herein, we affirm Appellant's convictions .
Appellant, Richard Allen Geary, was convicted of conspiracy to theft of
anhydrous ammonia with intent to manufacture methamphetamine' and of being a
second degree persistent felony offender. Appellant was sentenced to twenty (20)
years imprisonment, and he appeals to this Court as a matter of right. Appellant raises
two claims of error: (1) that the trial court improperly denied his motion to suppress ; and
(2) that the trial court improperly refused to grant his motion for a directed verdict.
Finding no merit to these claims, we affirm Appellant's convictions .
Appellant, Paul David Goins, was convicted by a Pendleton Circuit Court
jury in February 2006, of first degree assault and sentenced to twenty years in
prison. Goins now appeals to this Court as a matter of right, Ky. Const.
§110(2)(b), asserting three arguments in his appeal: 1) that the trial court's failure
to excuse sua s onte a juror who was also the assistant county attorney for
cause was palpable error; 2) that the trial court's failure to give an instruction on
lesser-included offenses was palpable error; and 3) that the defense counsel's
failure to put on mitigating evidence during the sentencing phase of defendant's
trial amounted to palpable error. For the reasons set forth herein, we affirm
Goins's conviction.
