Shields v. Commonwealth
Court of Appeals of Kentucky · Decided April 24, 1953
258 S.W.2d 520; 1953 Ky. LEXIS 862 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Shields v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We are of the opinion that the Judge of the Campbell Circuit Court had no jurisdiction of the case. Therefore, Shields had no basis for the plea of former jeopardy when he was placed on trial in the Kenton Circuit Court. 15 Am.Jur., Criminal Law, § 361, page 41.

The judgment of the Kenton Circuit Court is affirmed because that court had jurisdiction of the case. There was ample evidence to support the finding of the jury.
