Is a life without parole sentence appropriate for a minor? SCOTUS may wade in on Utah decision from 25 years ago

from KSL's Inside Sources

The U.S. Supreme Court will review -- and possibly take up -- a court case from here in Utah. The topic of this case is whether or not it's legal for the court to sentence a minor to life in prison without parole. You may not know this, but it's already not legal to sentence a minor to death. But the question here is whether a life sentence for a minor is in the same vein. The Utah Supreme Court ruled on behalf of the defendant, but the Utah Attorney General is appealing that decision. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas shares his thoughts on the appeal and explains the law as it currently stands.
