Whether the mandatory penalty scheme prevents a sentencer from considering a juvenile offender's youth in imposing a life sentence with a 25-year minimum

Whether the mandatory penalty scheme at issue here is flawed where it prevents the sentencer from taking account of the central considerations of Graham and Roper by removing youth from the balance, by subjecting a juvenile to the same life-with a minimum mandatory of 25 years before becoming eligible for parole sentence, applicable to an adult, which prohibit a sentencing authority from assessing whether the law's harshest term of imprisonment proportionately punishes a juvenile offender and contravenes Graham's (and also Roper's) foundational principle, that imposition of a State's most severe penalties on juvenile offenders cannot proceed as though they were not children. ii
