- Authors
Berkheiser, Mary
- Abstract
The article presents information on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Graham v. Florida, wherein the Court abolished the juvenile death penalty. It informs about the expansion of Eighth Amendment juvenile jurisprudence by barring life imprisonment without parole for juvenile offenders of non-homicides who did not kill anyone. The judgment relieved the adolescents from getting the punishment of adulated crime.
