Commonwealth v. Donoghue

Commonwealth v. Donoghue

Commonwealth v. Donoghue, 63 S.W.2d 3 (KY 1933), was a case decided by the Kentucky Court of Appeals that upheld the ability of judges to create common law crimes in the state of Kentucky, which has complemented codified criminal laws with common law criminal offenses imported through reception statutes. The judge created crime in the case was "a nefarious plan for the habitual exaction of gross injury."[1]
