Greenville – Lawyers for a Paris teenager with an IQ of 47 will appear in court today on an appeal that the boy's 100 year prison sentence was too harsh.
19-year-old Aaron Hart was convicted of performing sexual acts with a younger neighbor.
Lisa Greybill with the ACLU says Hart's sentence is cruel and unusual punishment.
Reports show the sentencing judge called the long sentence a real shame, but said there's nothing else to do with a kid like Hart. Greybill believes there are a number of other options than a lifetime in prison.
The case will be heard Wednesday in Greenville by the Six District Court of Appeals.
