Harston v. Commonwealth
Court of Appeals of Kentucky · Decided December 17, 1971 · Steinfeld
474 S.W.2d 354 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Harston v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court

STEINFELD, Judge.

Appellant Sherrill Harston was found guilty of uttering forged checks in violation of KRS 434.130(2). He appeals, claiming only that his motions for a directed verdict of acquittal should have been sustained because “(t)he Commonwealth failed to prove the bank upon which the checks were written was authorized by law to do a general banking business.” Such proof was unnecessary. Francis v. Commonwealth, Ky., 468 S.W.2d 287 (1971).

The judgment is affirmed.

All concur.
