Whether a State may sentence a juvenile offender convicted of multiple crimes to multiple consecutive terms of years in prison under which the offender has aggregate parole eligibility after serving 53 years, including a mandatory term of imprisonment without parole for 50 years, under the Eighth Amendment

QUESTION PRESENTED The Eighth Amendment to the _ federal Constitution prohibits a State from inflicting cruel and unusual punishment. U.S. Const. amend. viii. This Court has interpreted the Eighth Amendment to prohibit a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole for a juvenile offender convicted of a single homicide offense, Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012), and to prohibit any sentence of life in prison without parole for a juvenile offender convicted of a single nonhomicide offense, Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48 (2010). The juvenile offender in this case committed three offences at age 16—capital murder, first-degree murder, and armed criminal action. He received three consecutive sentences for his three crimes—a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole for 50 years, a mandatory life sentence, and a discretionary life sentence, one of which renders him ineligible for parole for another three years. A Missouri state appellate court granted him habeas relief. The question presented is Under the Eighth Amendment, may a State sentence a juvenile offender convicted of multiple crimes to multiple consecutive terms of years in prison under which the offender has aggregate parole eligibility after serving 53 years, including a mandatory term of imprisonment without parole for 50 years?
