Ward v. Commonwealth

OPINION OF THE COURT BY JUSTICE HUGHES

Willie Roger Ward appeals as a matter of right from the Jefferson Circuit Court judgment convicting him of first-degree sodomy, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, and being a persistent felony offender (PFO) in the first degree. Ward was sentenced to twenty-five years for sodomy and fifteen years for possession of a handgun, with the sentences running consecutively for a total sentence of forty years. On appeal, Ward raises several evidentiary and procedural issues. Finding no error, we affirm the trial court.
