{Bowling Green, Kentucky}...The Kentucky Court of Appeals in Bowling Green is weighing whether truck driver Jose Padilla can benefit from a U.S. Supreme Court ruling over what advice attorneys must give non-citizens about possible deportations. Public defender Tim Arnold told a three-judge panel that Jose Padilla would have never pleaded guilty to transporting 1,000 pounds of marijuana through Hardin County if he knew it meant automatic deportation to his native Honduras. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that Padilla's attorney erroneously told him that deportation wasn't a concern when he pleaded guilty in 2001, but a judge in Hardin County upheld Padilla's guilty plea last year.
