KY. Court Of Appeals Says Ethics Commission Not Affected By Gubernatorial Pardon
The Kentucky Court of Appeals has ruled governor's pardons apply only to criminal cases. The ruling allows the Executive Branch Ethics Commission to pursue its case against Basil Turbyfill, the former director of the Governor's Office of Personnel and Efficency, who challenged the authority of the Commission after being pardoned by former Governor Ernie Fletcher. The court ruled the pardon doesn't apply to the ethics investigation.
