Justices Refuse To Limit Life Sentences For Minors By
Jack Karp | April 22, 2021, 4:22 PM EDT Juveniles convicted of murder can be sentenced to life in prison without parole without being found to be permanently incorrigible by a judge, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The petitioner, Brett Jones, who was given such a sentence after being convicted of murder for killing his grandfather when he was 15, had argued that the high court s rulings in two previous cases Miller v. Alabama and Montgomery v. Louisiana barred the judge in his case from condemning him to life in prison without first finding that he was permanently incorrigible, a standard that comes from the Montgomery decision.
