1998In Lawson, The Kentucky Evidence Law Handbook, § 8.70 (3d. ed., 1993), Professor Lawson noted that “[tjhere is hardly anything in the case law of Kentucky concerning the foundation requirement for public records.” In Hackworth v. Hackworth, Ky.App., 896 S.W.2d 914, 917 (1995), this Court stated that if a public record is authenticated, relevant and its probative value outweighs its prejudicial value, it is admissible.

2011Furthermore, in addition to using the fact pattern of Fenwick as the foundation for the analysis, Pennington's author, Justice Noble, found particular merit in Fenwick's "excellent discussion of" our Kentucky courts' "struggle[] with what part physical or residential possession of the child plays in each type of custody." Id. at 767 fn. 5. [12] At times, Father argues that Texas was merely a "second residence" and not a relocation.

2011In fact, protection of the discretionary powers of our public officials and employees, exercised in good faith, is the very foundation of our doctrine of “qualified official immunity.” Although we consider Turner’s conduct in this case to be discretionary, we recognize the apparent incongruity with our precedent regarding a supervisory duty in the public school setting, as “we have held that a claim of negligent supervision may go to a ministerial act or function in the public school setting.” Id. at 244 .

2007After the Commonwealth rested its case, Lewis moved to strike the results of the BAC test, arguing that a proper foundation for the test had not been laid under Commonwealth v. Roberts, 122 S.W.3d 524 (Ky.2003), because no aspect of the test reflected an “alcohol simulator analysis.” The trial court overruled this motion stating that the calibration check, as testified to and shown on the printout, constituted an “alcohol simulator analysis.” At the conclusion of the trial, Lewis was found guilty and received a $200 fine.
