The Supreme Court of Kentucky will convene on Wednesday, June 7 and Thursday, June 8, in Frankfort to hear oral arguments in civil and criminal cases. Proceedings are open to the public and will take place in the Supreme Court courtroom on the second floor of the state Capitol at 700 Capitol Avenue in Frankfort. Cases being heard on Wednesday include Kentucky State Police v. Terry Scott, et al. At issue in this case is whether sovereign immunity bars a complaint against the KSP for payment of retroactive wages and benefits to the respondents, who were denied salaries and benefits equal to another employee who occupied the same position at another KSP post. Another case of interest, which will be heard on Thursday, is Daniel Lee Moss v. Commonwealth of Kentucky. The primary issue in this case is whether a defendant’s failure to respond to a witness’ statement made during a police investigation constitutes an adoptive admission, which may be introduced into evidence, or whether this failure to respond to the witness’ statement is pre-arrest silence, which may not be introduced as evidence against the defendant.
