A former West Virginia Supreme Court justice is due in court for sentencing for using a state vehicle and gas fuel card for a golf trip to Virginia.

Ex-Justice Menis Ketchum's sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday in federal court in Charleston.

The sentencing comes at the end of a yearlong impeachment and corruption scandal involving the Supreme Court that resulted in significant changes to the state's judicial system, including the five-member court's makeup.

The 76-year-old Ketchum pleaded guilty last year to a felony fraud count. His attorney is seeking probation.

The charge was related to a 400-mile trip in 2014 where Ketchum used a state-owned car to drive from his home in Huntington to a private golf club near Bristol, Virginia, using a state credit card to refuel. Court documents show Ketchum traveled to the club from 2011 through 2014.

Ketchum retired in July before the House of Delegates impeached other Supreme Court justices over questions involving lavish office renovations that evolved into accusations of corruption, incompetence and neglect of duty. Some of the justices were accused of abusing their authority by failing to rein in excessive spending.
