Frankfort, KY — Kentucky’s death penalty is on the agenda for the Kentucky Supreme Court. The case revolves around whether the death penalty should apply to defendants who committed their crimes between the ages of 18 and 21. The case reached the high court after a lower court judge ruled that applying the death penalty to such defendants amounts to an “unconstitutionally disproportionate punishment.” The Supreme Court heard arguments in the case Thursday in Somerset, Kentucky. It could take several months for the Supreme Court to issue a ruling on the matter.
