Kentucky Supreme Court
Shawn Hollingsworth, Jr. v. Commonwealth of Kentucky
August 14, 2025
Summary
The Court affirmed Hollingsworth’s convictions and sentences, holding that the trial court properly admitted a detective’s cell-site mapping testimony, declined to strike prospective or seated jurors, and admitted a recorded jail call with Hollingsworth’s father. The Court concluded that the detective’s disclosures were sufficient, no meaningful prejudice or juror bias was shown, and the jury could determine whether Hollingsworth’s responses adopted his father’s statements.
