Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether consecutive sentences for non-homicide offenses that effectively result in life without parole for a juvenile offender violate the Eighth Amendment
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48 (2010), applies with the equal force to consecutive sentences for non-homicide offenses that work in the aggregate to foreclose the possibility of parole during a juvenile’s lifetime as it does to “life without parole” sentences. 2.
