Petition of the day

The petition of the day is:

15-276

Issue: Whether the Kansas Supreme Court misinterpreted and improperly expanded the Supreme Court’s decisions in Graham v. Florida and Miller v. Alabama when it extended those decisions to a sentence that does not involve life imprisonment, holding that the Eighth Amendment categorically bars a sentence of mandatory lifetime postrelease supervision (i.e., non-incarceration) for juveniles convicted of serious sex offenses.
