Little v. Commonwealth
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court convicting Defendant of two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance in the first degree and other drug-related offenses and his sentence of twenty years’ imprisonment, holding that there was no reversible error in this case.
Specifically, the Court held (1) the Commonwealth violated the notice requirement set forth in Ky. Rev. Stat. 508 by waiting until forty hours prior to trial to disclose a confidential informant’s identity, but the late disclosure did not compel a new trial; (2) Defendant’s claims of error with respect to the complicity to trafficking in a controlled substance in the first degree conviction were unavailing; (3) the parole officer’s “good time” credit testimony presented during the penalty phase of trial did not violate Defendant’s right to due process; and (4) the prosecutor’s closing argument during the penalty phase did not amount to flagrant misconduct.
