Exploring a Defense of Extreme Emotional Disturbance.

چکیده
In Commonwealth v. Rank, 494 S.W. 3d 476 (Ky. 2016), a defendant convicted of first-degree assault, and sentenced to 15 years, moved to vacate his sentence on the basis of ineffective assistance of counsel. He claimed that his counsel failed to inform him of a possible defense of extreme emotional disturbance (EED), which could have lessened his offense and shortened his sentence. The defendant asserted that, without information about EED, his guilty plea was not knowing and voluntary. The court of appeals granted a motion for an evidentiary hearing, and the Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed.
