New motions in the case of Heath High School shooter Michael Carneal are
elongating a 16-year court battle. Carneal, now 31, who opened fire on a
group of classmates the morning of Dec. 1, 1997, killing three of them
and wounding five, filed new motions in February in McCracken Circuit
Court. Carneal is moving for his conviction and judgment to be vacated,
among other post-conviction motions. Carneal argued that his counsel was
ineffective for advising him to make an Alford plea during the original
proceedings.
