Man Sentenced In Grandfather's Death
KENTUCKY...
A central Kentucky man who pleaded guilty but mentally ill in the death of his grandfather after they argued over trash bins has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Fayette County Circuit Judge James Ishmael said at the sentencing Friday he would strongly request that 27-year-old Franklin Taylor Arnett be given the treatment and medication he needs for paranoid schizophrenia. Arnett was indicted for murder in the January 2009 death of 78-year-old Taylor Arnett. He pleaded to an amended charge of second-degree, or involuntary, manslaughter. Public defender Tom Griffiths later said Kentucky has a severe shortage of facilities to treat someone like Arnett
