ARGUED: Edward A. Baylous II , COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY, Frankfort, Kentucky, for Appellants. Aaron Bentley , BELZLEY, BATHURST & BENTLEY, Prospect, Kentucky, for Appellee. ON BRIEF: Edward A. Baylous II, COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY, Frankfort, Kentucky, for Appellants. Aaron Bentley, BELZLEY, BATHURST & BENTLEY, Prospect, Kentucky, for Appellee.

READLER, J., delivered the opinion of the court in which BATCHELDER, J., joined. GRIFFIN, J. (pp. 820-28), delivered a separate dissenting opinion.
