Barbara: The court record would be an open record. It would probably be a federal case and would either be in the federal courthouse in the district where the case was tried or it may have been sent o the federal archives regional branch serving KY. I think KY records are in Atlanta Georgia at East Point. The prison records would be at the prison, or, if they have been retired, they would be in the federal archives regional branch. For Atlanta, that would definitely be in East Point/Atlanta, GA MIC Mic Barnette's Writes a Weekly Genealogy Column In The Houston Chronicle.
