Valin Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Legal Insurrection : William A. Jacobson June 25, 2012 You can check out the live action at ScotusBlog’s live feed. The Supreme Court’s opinion page updates with new opinions not long after announced in court. If either of the two biggies come down, I’ll create a separate post. Updates: Montana campaign case summarily reversed. Case might have ended Citizens United on the state level. Since summarily reversed, didn’t require briefing or oral argument. Was 5-4 decision on summary reversal, along expected split. Decision here. (Snip) It should be noted they don't have to release the decision today. Its Good To Be King!

Valin Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 U.S. Supreme Court: No more life without parole for juvenile By JESSE J. HOLLAND, Associated Press 6/25/12 WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court says it's unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to life in prison without parole for murder. The high court on Monday threw out Americans' ability to send children to prison for the rest of their lives with no chance of ever getting out. The 5-4 decision is in line with others the court has made, including ruling out the death penalty for juveniles and life without parole for young people whose crimes did not involve killing. The decision came in the robbery and murder cases of Evan Miller and Kuntrell Jackson, who were 14 when they were convicted. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
