Issue: (1) Whether the Kentucky Supreme Court violated the Eighth Amendment, as interpreted in Hall v. Florida and Moore v. Texas, when it denied the petitioner the opportunity to present evidence supporting the "conjunctive and interrelated" assessment for intellectual and adaptive functioning, ignoring an IQ score of 73 presented to the trial court, ignoring a possible Flynn effect and refusing to look past White"s other IQ score of 76 adjusted for standard error of measurement; and (2) whether it violates the Fourth Amendment when officers abandon their duty to address a traffic violation which justified a pretextual stop in order to investigate a passenger.
