Petition of the day

The petition of the day is:

13-1348

Issue: Whether Miller v. Alabama – which held that a state may not sentence a teenage murderer to life imprisonment without parole unless the state provides a process whereby the sentencer considers the offender’s youth and attendant characteristics – should be applied retroactively to a murder conviction on collateral review.
