Criminal Defense
My name is Madeline McCall and I am a rising 3L at the University of Kentucky College of Law. I am from Louisville, but I have spent the last six years living in Lexington. I received my Bachelor’s degree in English and Psychology from the University of Kentucky in 2017, graduating Summa Cum Laude. I love fitness, reading for fun, anything “The Office” related, and spending time with my friends. Professionally, I am interested in criminal law, family law, legal writing, and litigation. I plan to stay and work in Kentucky after graduation next spring.
DUI/DWI
Those who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs will face enhanced penalties for prior DUI convictions within the last ten (10) years. In 2016, the DUI law was amended to expand the period of time, from five (5) years to ten (10) years, that prior DUI convictions could be used to enhance a current DUI charge.
Sex Crimes
Brittany Scordo is the Director of Victim Services at the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. She is from Paducah, Kentucky and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Spanish from Murray State University and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville. Brittany taught high school Spanish and English for several years as a Teach for America corps member in the Mississippi Delta and in Louisville, KY before transitioning to social work. She currently specializes in adult sexual assault and domestic violence cases.
Robbery
Kelsey Ragone is a native of Nicholasville, Kentucky. She obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and acquired a Certificate for Diversity and Inclusion Awareness. While in pursuit of her degree, she interned at The Well of Lexington, a program that services survivors of human trafficking and at Central Christian Church, which provides services to community members in need and the homeless population. These internships equipped her to adequately advocate for an array of victims she will encounter in practice but also aided her in understanding the community resources and partnerships that are available locally. Outside of victim advocacy she has a passion for giving back to her community by participating in Seedleaf’s community gardens on the weekends. She believes that her work for the community does not stop after she leaves the office. In her leisure time she enjoys tending to her numerous houseplants, playing pool, being outdoors, and spending time with her pup, Lincoln. Kelsey specializes in elder abuse, robbery, arson, and assault cases.
Burglary
Welcome to the Official Website of the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the 22nd Judicial Circuit. Our office prosecutes felony cases which occur in Fayette County, the state’s second most populated county with more than 321,959 residents (2017). These cases include homicide, robbery, assault, burglary, sexual assault, theft, drug crime, and many others. The cases we prosecute are investigated and brought to us by peace officers, primarily the Lexington Police Department.
Theft
Misdemeanors
Makes gang recruitment a felony rather than a misdemeanor for adults and it stiffens penalties for offenders if gang activity is shown to be a factor in their crime. It also requires gang members convicted of violent crimes to serve 85 percent of their sentences before parole is an option. The bill’s primary sponsor was Representative Robert Benvenuti, of Lexington.
Drug Crimes
Last week I went to the Circuit Court where I sat in on a case where Kim Baird was the prosecutor that dealt with a man being charged with possession of drugs; the judge was Ernesto Scorsone. By the time I left, they were in the middle of cross examination where Ms. Baird asked the man questions. I thought the way she handled herself and how she managed to have a question after every statement he made was impressive and almost seemed easy for her to do. That was very intriguing to me. The other day I sat in on case hearings and with retired Judge Thomas Clark. It went by very fast and some criminals had interesting cases. I also came back to the office and began working on translating the Commonwealth’s Attorney Office website from English to Spanish, which I am still working on at this point.
Assault
Murder
As the school year begins to wrap up and my time here as an intern/ EBCE student is close to ending, I can definitely say that, coming here every B day has been very intriguing and incredible. At first, the closest I came to see or doing anything related to law was in my academy classes at Frederick Douglass High School. Over there I take; Criminal Law and Procedures, Business Law and Introduction to Law, but coming to the Attorney’s Office was very exciting for me. While I was here, I was able to; talk to attorneys from both sides, sit in on trials (the infamous Trinity Gay murder trial), listen to interviews done by the police (and transcribe them), and research cases in the computers database. When I graduate from Carter G. Woodson Academy later this May, I plan on continuing my academic career at the University of Kentucky, where I will major in Pre-Law and minor in Political Science. Early on, I realized how complicated and overworking things can be while being an attorney, having an advocate be appointed a case, contacting the victims and giving them status, going to either District or Circuit Court for certain hearings, and more, it was everything I expected. I have seen just about every case that can be brought to trial and a lot more, the firsthand experience I got from this site has truly helped me in my future plans of being an attorney myself. The type of lawyer I want to be, however, is a decision that’ll take time, as the field of law interests me enough that I would not mind being a lawyer for all sorts of situations. Being surrounded by victims’ advocates was a new experience for me, as I have never heard of that before. The work that these wonderful women do is extraordinary, they work for very long hours, stay on top of business, hold meetings every so often, contact their victims on a daily basis, and just all-around act as a voice for the voiceless. I have always seen myself as someone like that, an attorney who will focus on what really matters in a case, which is providing relief for my client in the promise that the perpetrator that harmed them in anyway, form or fashion, will be punished for the crimes they committed. From the time I was young, my great grandmother always thought I would be a lawyer, or take on a profession that involves me speaking, and being able to be a EBCE student here has helped me make that dream seem like reality. While others may have been here for more than just a year, my limited time here has influenced my aspirations of continuing a career in law, even after I graduate college. I want to thank everyone at this office, who I was lucky to meet and spend some time with and thanking them for allowing me to use some of their resources and for letting me sit in on some of their trials, where I got to learn more about how the courtroom operates and everything that goes on from within. I hope to take this experience, learn from it, cherish it, and let it guide me to be an attorney in the Commonw
Homicide
Strangulation is one of the best predictors for the subsequent homicide of victims of domestic violence. Kentucky’s felony strangulation law becomes effective today and to better prosecute these important cases Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorneys Kathy Phillips and Amanda Parker, along with Advocate Erica Bybee, are attending the Advanced Course on Strangulation Prevention in Indianapolis with tra
Arson
The “hate crime” designation may only be applied to kidnaping and certain assaults, sex offenses, damage to property, arson, riot and disorderly conduct cases.
Manslaughter
Shock probation for individuals convicted of DUI homicides manslaughter second degree or reckless homicide, and the equivalent degree of fetal homicide. These are homicides which carry a penalty of 1-10 years. Before this change in the law, a person convicted of these offenses could request release from custody (“shocked”) after serving between 30 and 180 days of the imposed sentence.
