Gloria Buchanan v. Commonwealth
2010-CA-1120
Opinion dated October 28, 2011
Not to be published.
The Court of Appeals, among other things, affirmed the trial court’s decision to impose “court costs, fines, and/or fees in the amount of $295.00” following Ms. Buchanan’s conviction of Wanton Exploitation of a Vulnerable Adult. The Court of Appeals held that it was not palpable error in this case. Trial Practice Tip: Object and argue that the client is a poor person and cannot pay court costs, fines, or fees.
