SCOTUS and Juvenile Lifers
Last night the US Supreme Court published a pretty big decision. The court gave judges more discretion in sentencing really young offenders to life without parole. Today, we’re digging into what this decision means for Michigan and for "juvenile lifers" who are waiting for resentencing.
GUESTS:
Deborah Labelle, Washington correspondent for the Detroit News
Efren Paredes, Advocate for juvenile offenders.
