The boy’s counsel can use Eighth Amendment to state that the constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. Imposing of excessive bail and excessive fines were also prohibited under Eighth Amendment.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Eighth Amendment was framed in the year of 1791 in United States of America. Cruel and unusual punishments were prohibited under Eighth Amendment. According to Eighth Amendment, the federal government is prohibited from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual punishments. Death punishment was completely banned under this amendment.

The Eighth Amendment was closely related with the <u>Bill of Rights in 1791.</u>

So the boy’s counsel used Eighth Amendment to support his case and protect the boy from cruel and unusual punishment.
