Finn v. McClard

DAVIS, Commissioner.

The appellant, William G. Finn, is accused of armed robbery in contravention of KRS 433.140. The death penalty is permitted upon conviction of the offense. Finn’s motion for bail was denied whereupon he filed habeas corpus petition seeking to be released upon reasonable bail pending action of the grand jury. His petition for writ of habeas corpus was denied by the Judge of the Barren Circuit Court, and Finn appeals. An order affirming the judgment of the circuit court has been entered heretofore; this opinion will relate the court’s reasons for the order.1
