Court of Appeals of Kentucky, 1973

Waggoner v. Castleman

Court of Appeals of Kentucky · Decided March 16, 1973 · Gardner, Milliken, Osborne, Palmore, Reed, Steinfeld, Stephenson

492 S.W.2d 929; 1973 Ky. LEXIS 541 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

GARDNER, Commissioner.

Appellants contend that appellee, Judge of the Graves County Quarterly Court, is not constitutionally qualified to preside over their criminal cases since he is not a lawyer. We do not agree for the reasons expressed in Ditty v. Hampton, Ky., 490 S.W.2d 772 (decided October 20, 1972).

The judgment is affirmed.

PALMORE, C. J., and MILLIKEN, OSBORNE, REED, STEINFELD and STEPHENSON, JJ., sitting.

All concur.
