Commonwealth v. Woods
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court vacated the opinion of the court of appeals reversing the judgment of the district court convicting Defendant of driving under the influence (DUI), first offense, holding that a proper application of the four-factor test set forth in Wells v. Commonwealth, 709 S.W.2d 847 (Ky. App. 1986), supported Defendant's conviction.
The district court convicted Defendant of DUI, and the circuit court affirmed, relying a certain circumstantial evidence. The court of appeals reversed, concluding that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the totality of circumstantial evidence supported Defendant's conviction on the sufficiency of the evidence and that the conviction was not clearly unreasonable from the perspective of a rational fact finder.
