In a 4-3 opinion that dissenting justices warned could endanger school safety, the court held that a statement from a Nelson County student who admitted giving two pills to another student must be suppressed because he was not read his rights first.

A Louisville Metro Police officer and a woman he was out with while off duty in July both told a grand jury last month they were attacked by a group of men in a parking lot when the officer was punched in the face while another man repeatedly jumped on his vehicle and smashed in the windshield.

Officer Joseph Pence and Veronica Zeigler both testified that Pence followed a group of men to an apartment complex - after one of the men threw something at his blue Mazda and cursed at a stoplight on Bardstown Road in the Hikes Point area - where the men surrounded the car and punched the officer through his window.
