Description
Appellant, Ronald Douglas Crawley, was convicted in the Fayette Circuit Court of first-degree robbery and of being a first-degree persistent felony offender (PFO) for participating in the armed robbery of Thee Clubhouse, an adult dancing establishment in Lexington, Kentucky. Appellant was sentenced to twenty-five years imprisonment and appeals to this Court as a matter of right. Ky. Const. § 110(2)(b). Appellant advances four issues on appeal, namely that: (1) he was improperly denied his right to testify on his own behalf; (2) the jury instructions for complicity to robbery did not include the element of intent; (3) he was effectively denied the ability to call a witness to testify about a co-conspirators motive to lie; and (4) the Commonwealth failed to provide notice of its intention to introduce evidence of Appellants prior bad acts pursuant to KRE 404(c). We reverse and remand because the trial court did not sufficiently determine that Appellants waiver of his right to testify on his own behalf was knowingly and intelligently made.
