First guy for them was named Denny (Dennis, I guess) VonSomething (I think, but it's been so long that I'm not even sure anymore) and I'm not even sure who the second guy was.



Look into it and see that this judge, Gregory Bartlett, has a history of it.  He needed an excuse so it wouldn't raise any red flags.  Case-in-point: his reasoning for saying the driver's parents weren't at fault were because they "couldn't foresee that the driver would drink and drive in the cemetery," even though he had drank before in the cemetery and driven with his father, because another teen's parents couldn't foresee that he would have brought a gun to school and killed a bunch of classmates.  You want to talk about delusional?  Explain how those two situations are related.

Dennis Allerding used to do criminal law in Northern Kentucky. Could that have been the guy?

Judge Bartlett has been on the bench in Kenton County forever, but I really couldn't tell you his reputation among other attorneys, who would be the ones to ask what he is known for (but I do know judges have reputations and they aren't all good).

I do have sympathy for you, especially if you got bad representation. I knew people would question the OP, and to be fair Brad it was pretty confusing. I didn't say anything because 1. I knew others would ask the same questions and 2. I could tell you were trying to get a lot off of your chest at the same time and it all made sense to you as you were typing it.

But, back to the facts such as I know them - yeah, if there was a defendant who a lawyer coerced witnesses to lie about - that is pretty serious imho. I am going to go out on a limb and say the cemetery was Catholic (you went to Cov Cath, right?). And if it was, a hx of an employee getting high school kids drunk and then the church covering it up would be consistent with all kinds of patterns in the Catholic Church - involving all sorts of inappropriate conduct with kids and sometimes alcohol or other drugs as well. As a proud CCH alum you probably don't like thinking about that, but it is true, and lends credibility to your story about the lawyer getting kids to lie for the good ol' church and the good ol' caretaker.
