Anthony Edward Spicer v. Commonwealth of Kentucky

Summary

The court held that Appellant's convictions for attempted murder and first-degree assault violated Kentucky's statutory double-jeopardy protections because the stabbing episode was one uninterrupted course of conduct requiring inconsistent findings about intent. It affirmed the attempted-murder conviction, vacated the assault conviction and sentence, rejected the challenge to admission of the news interview, vacated the attorney's fee for lack of the required indigency findings, and affirmed court costs and the arrest fee. The matter was remanded for entry of a consistent judgment.
