Long story short, the Supreme Court ruled that mandatory life sentences for juveniles (he was 17 when he killed 10 people) is unconstitutional. They overturned the life sentences and are trying to figure out the new possible sentence, which could involve him getting out at some point.

Bullshit.

You're right, no one should ever disagree with any law, ever.

(didn't read the article but...)

How is a life sentence necessarily unconstitutional? Cruel and unusual punishment? Because if so that's just stupid - he killed ten people, I don't see how it wouldn't be justified.

Besides he was 17 anyways. -_-

Well yes they're following it, I just believe there should be exceptions to this rule. Mass murderers is more than just one bad decision leading to permanent prison.

Kennedy decided to side with democrats in saying it violates the 8th, even though it's not a cruel and unusual punishment to handout life or death sentences to people who decided to take another life in cold blood.

Didn't he claim he was brainwashed by the older guy?

It doesn't matter though. The guy shouldn't see the light of day. He'll be a possible threat outside of bars (not to mention he'll probably have no social skills) and it's still hard to get past 10 murders.

Lee Malvo was brainwashed and forced to fire a rifle by John Allen Mohammed. These are facts. He has shown extreme remorse for his heinous crimes and has reached out to his victims families. I'm not a liberal pussy ass bitch, but he needs a second chance.

Really? He was forced? So he had a gun to his head when he pulled the trigger?

No? Then fuck that, death penalty or life in prison without parole.

Should get the death penalty. I don't care if he was still technically a kid. He was old enough to know right from wrong, and yet he killed TEN PEOPLE in COLD BLOOD. There's people serving life sentences for one murder and they're actually going to consider letting him loose someday? Fuck outta here.

Then what's the point of trying teens as adults? Why is this ruled unconstitutional, when other teenagers get tried and convicted as adults? This guy had 10 cases of premeditated murder. I don't see how the life sentences are unconstitutional.

The article is pretty clear that he can be re-sentenced to a life sentence.

It's not, mandatory life sentences are. That's even in the OP.
