Opinion
March 16, 1973.
Appeal from the Graves Circuit Court, Seth T. Boaz, Jr., J.
Wayne Freeman, Charles M. Chaney, Chaney Daughaday, Mayfield, for appellants.
Benjamin J. Lookofsky, Mayfield, for appellee.
Appellants contend that appellee, Judge of the Graves County Quarterly Court, is not constitutionally qualified to preside over their criminal cases since he is not a lawyer. We do not agree for the reasons expressed in Ditty v. Hampton, Ky., 490 S.W.2d 772 (decided October 20, 1972).
The judgment is affirmed.
PALMORE, C. J., and MILLIKEN, OSBORNE, REED, STEINFELD and STEPHENSON, JJ., sitting.
All concur.
