The Kentucky Supreme Court reversed a Laurel County man’s conviction on Thursday.

Steven Dale Eversole was found guilty of first-degree fleeing or evading, first-degree wanton endangerment, reckless driving, and being a first-degree PFO by the Laurel County Circuit Court.

The Court determined Eversole was deprived of the right to be represented during a critical stage of the trial after one of the jurors was offered $50 to change there vote in the case.

Eversole had his conviction reversed and sentence vacated.
