Commonwealth v. Tramble
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of trafficking in marijuana over five pounds and sentenced to five years' imprisonment. The court of appeals reversed, holding (1) the trial court erred when it admitted evidence of Appellee's prior bad conduct in violation of Ky. Rev. Stat. 404(b); and (2) the prosecutor improperly misstated the facts during closing arguments. The Supreme Court reversed, holding (1) the admission of the prior bad act evidence was proper; and (2) the prosecutor's misstatement of the evidence in his closing argument was a harmless error because his correction of his misstatement cured any prejudicial effect that might otherwise have arisen.
