Question Presented (from Petition)

The requirement to provide notice of what conduct is considered to be human trafficking I.
will forever be changed by the answer to the question: Is it possible to sustain a prosecution for
human trafficking when no one is trafficked? The answer will determine if a statute which
plainly provides notice for some elements does not constitutionally inform and provide notice to
every application government officials deem detestable to forever brand a person as a human
trafficker.

Timothy Nolan petitions this Honorable Court to hold Kentucky accountable to the Due II.
Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment resolving any doubt for the people when an error
requested to be deemed clerical is an error of law and the point at which jurisdiction is necessary
to make a change rather than a correction of a judgment which has become final.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Is it possible to sustain a prosecution for human trafficking when no one is trafficked?
