Description
In 1979, the State of Kentucky convicted Michael Reynolds of first-degree manslaughter and sentenced him to twenty years in prison. The Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed Reynolds conviction. See Reynolds v. Commonwealth, No. 79-SC-370-MR (Ky. Nov. 20, 1979). On August 18, 1980, Reynolds moved to compel the trial court to provide the factual contents of his presentence investigation report as required by Kentucky Revised Statutes § 532.050. Thereafter, the State and Reynolds legal advisor met and corrected several errors of the pretrial sentence report. The trial courts failure to comply with § 532.050 made it mandatory for the court to resentence Reynolds and enter a new judgment. The court resentenced Reynolds to twenty years imprisonment.
