In the 2009-2010 term, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide if it matters whether a criminal defense lawyer correctly counsels a client about the fact that the client faces deportation as a result of a guilty plea. Under prevailing constitutional norms in almost every jurisdiction, a lawyer does not have a duty to tell her client about many serious but "collateral" consequences of a guilty plea. Yet, in every jurisdiction that has considered the issue, that very same lawyer will run afoul of her duties if she affirmatively misrepresents a collateral consequence—every jurisdiction, that is, except Kentucky. The Supreme Court of Kentucky recently held that when there is no duty to warn about a consequence because it is collateral, misadvice about that same consequence is not a consti...

An Elkview woman accused of shooting her husband to death in his hospital bed pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Thursday, choosing not to go through a second trial. A jury found Rhonda Stewart, 56, guilty of first-degree murder in 2009, but the state Supreme Court ordered a new trial because it believed jurors should have heard testimony about her abuse at the hands of her husband, Sammy. Kanawha Circuit Judge Tod Kaufman ruled that evidence inadmissible in the first trial. Prosecutor Mark Plants said a second jury might consider the case differently if they listened to that.
