Answer:
may not be applied to those who were under 18 when they committed a crime
Explanation:
The Supreme Court has decided that the death penalty may not be applied to those who were under 18 when they committed a crime. Even if they commit a horrific crime, such as homicide, the most ammount of time they can serve is live in prison, without parole. Also, in 2012 the court announced that life in prison for anyone under the age of 18, is unconstitutional. Therefore, most children will have a resentencing hearing to decide how long their new sentence will be. However, the judge does not have to change their sentence.
