A state Senate committee began hearing evidence in an impeachment case for a former commonwealth's attorney.

Ronnie goldie Jr is accused of providing legal favors for a woman in exchange for nude photos of her.

He was a Commonwealth's attorney for the 21st Circuit covering Bath, Menifee, Montgomery and Rowan Counties.

Last month, the Kentucky House voted to impeach Goldy.

Today, a Senate committee began reviewing evidence in the case.

Brian Wright is a Commonwealth's attorney and the 29th Judicial District.

Today, he told the committee what he found to be most troubling about the accusations against Goldy then.

To say about, you know, the comment about incentives never hurt.

In talking about incentivizing her to produce things to him in exchange for him taking direct acts that fall within his discretion as Commonwealth's attorney requesting a judge to withdraw a warrant.

Getting court dates moved around, talking to other prosecutors and judge about getting a car released or a cell phone release from evidence.

Those are things that he was doing in his capacity as Commonwealth's attorney that another person, another citizen, that that's not a prosecutor couldn't just go to the judge, say, hey, withdraw this warrant and not give some reason.

He he had, by virtue of his office, some some degree of influence with the judge, that he felt that the judge almost certainly felt like there was some legitimate reason why he was asking for that, unbeknownst to the judge.

Presumably, he's doing this in exchange for hoping to get videos or pictures.

The Senate impeachment Committee has requested the House present its findings to the full Senate.

It's unclear when that will occur.

The Senate can accept the recommendations, reject them or proceed to a full trial on the Senate floor.

A conviction requires a vote by two thirds of the senators present.
