Hearing Set For Man Serving Life Sentence
KENTUCKY....
U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Russell has set a hearing for the week of February 7th for 27 year old Michael Carneal who is serving a life sentence without chance of parole for at least 25 years for shootings which occurred when he was 14. Carneal pleaded guilty but mentally ill to killing three classmates and shooting five others at Heath High School near Paducah on December 1, 1997. He is currently eligible for parole in 2023, but he will get a hearing in February to determine if a mental illness prevented him from appealing his guilty plea.
