Victims and relatives of a Kentucky high school shooting 25 years ago gave tear-jerking testimony on Monday to lobby against parole for the offender who’s still in prison – while one student shot in the head argued for his release.
Michael Carneal, now 39, is serving a life sentence after murdering three girls and injuring five other people when he opened fire as a 14-year-old at Heath High School on 1 December 1997. While he has repeatedly appealed his sentence, unsuccessfully, the Kentucky Parole Board on Monday listened to live video victim impact testimony. They’ll hear from Carneal himself on Tuesday.
