Graham v. Florida

From the Kristin Parsons Winokur, via the PsyLaw listserv:

"For those teaching juvenile justice and juvenile delinquency courses, the Supreme Court released its opinion in Graham v. Florida (case involved whether it is unconstitutional to sentence a juvenile to life without parole for a non-homicide case; Florida leads the nation in doing so): http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-7412.pdf. The Court ruled the sentencing practice unconstitutional."
