FRANKFORT, Ky. — For the second time, Marsy's Law is being challenged in Kentucky’s courts. The Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers is challenging the process used to pass the law and put it on the November ballot.
The law is a proposed constitutional amendment providing a bill of rights for crime victims.

Attorney General Daniel Cameron has now filed a motion to defend the law in Franklin Circuit Court.
