Kentucky’s Attorney General’s Petition to the U.S. Supreme court on Residency Laws – DENIED
3-8-2010 Washington DC:
Posted at the US Supreme court on the docket for Kentucky v. Baker (09-775) is a note that the high court has DENIED the Kentucky AG’s Petition.
It is not suprising that the petition was denied since it was based on the personal opinion of one person and not a mass of Kentucky courts in disagreement with each other.
Such means that Kentucky’s residency laws -for the moment- will not be applied retroactively to those convicted before the date of enactment of the residency laws. Full RULING BELOW
