Commonwealth of Kentucky v. Victor D. Taylor

Summary

The court affirmed an order allowing Taylor to litigate an intellectual-disability claim under CR 60.02 despite the Commonwealth's arguments that the claim was successive, untimely, premature, or adequately addressed by administrative regulations. The court held that the Commonwealth had a proper interlocutory appeal and that permitting further litigation of a potentially dispositive constitutional bar to execution was not an abuse of discretion. The court did not decide whether Taylor is intellectually disabled or grant CR 60.02 relief.
