Kentucky Supreme Court January 23, 2003, 2001-SC-0296-MR (Neal v. Commonwealth)

Dissenting Opinion by

Justice STUMBO.

Respectfully, I dissent from Section VI. of the majority opinion in which the Court finds no error in the use of edited videotapes to present the Commonwealth’s case during the penalty phase. I do not state here that this use of video rather than live testimony is in itself erroneous.
