Kentucky's longest serving inmate
The Courier-Journal reports that "Kentucky's longest serving inmate -- the nation's sixth longest prisoner -- is a mentally retarded and mentally ill man who has spent 50 years behind bars and whom experts say never should have been prosecuted because he was incompetent for trial and insane at the time of the crime."
