BOTKINS v. COMMONWEALTH


394 S.W.2d 586 (1965)

Elbert BOTKINS, Appellant, v. COMMONWEALTH of Kentucky, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Kentucky.

October 1, 1965.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Don B. Mills, Barbourville, for appellant.

Robert Matthews, Atty. Gen., Charles W. Runyan, Asst. Atty. Gen., Frankfort, for appellee.


MONTGOMERY, Judge.

Elbert Botkins was convicted of embezzling $11.65 paid to him as Justice of the Peace on a fine. He was sentenced to one year's confinement. He appeals and argues that he was indicted under KRS 434.010 which does not cover the offense of which he was convicted; the indictment is invalid and the instruction is erroneous for failure to charge intent as provided in KRS 434.020; and the verdict is flagrantly against the evidence.
