Larayna Manning v. Commonwealth of Kentucky

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed Larayna Manning’s convictions, holding that her speedy‑trial claim failed, that the trial court’s notice of prior‑bad‑act evidence satisfied KRE 404(c), and that any evidentiary errors were harmless or non‑palpable. The Court applied the Barker v. Wingo four‑factor test and found no reversible error in the admission of prior bad‑act evidence, impeachment under KRE 609, or the use of Anthony Manning’s Alford plea.
