Petition of the day

Thepetition of the day is:

Issue:Whether the Eighth Amendment is satisfied when, in a non-mandatory sentencing regime, a juvenile convicted of murder had the opportunity to present evidence of youth and its attendant characteristics, and the sentencing court could and did consider youth, and subsequently made a retrospective finding in light ofMiller v. Alabama, andMontgomery v. Louisiana, that the juvenile’s crime did not reflect transient immaturity, but was instead one of the rare cases justifying a fixed life sentence.
