About Commonwealth Attorney - Circuit 49
The county attorney must attend the District Court in his or her county and prosecute all violations of criminal and penal law in the court's jurisdiction. Further, the county attorney and the commonwealth's attorney must cooperate in the enforcement of laws and, when necessary, assist each other in prosecution within their respective courts. They may agree to share or redistribute their prosecutorial duties in the Circuit and District Courts (KRS 15.725).
