I expected to have no sympathy for them. And whenever I read their stories, I end up having even less sympathy than I expected to have.

Why the hell is SCOTUS forcing us to release these terrible people?

It was a SCOTUS ruling way back in 2012. LINK



Most of the people who are released under this ruling seem to be rapist-murderers, people who murder more than one person, people who commit some garden variety tortured during their murders, or any combo of the above. You really have to be pretty bad to get life without parole before you turn 18 and not even get a second degree murder plea deal for 25 years.

But SCOTUS is forcing us to release these people anyway.

A) This is an old ruling.

B) It only says they have a meaningful chance of relief (aka can't be sentences to life without parole). They can be kept there for life.

This is the type of person who’s getting released under Miller and Montgomery.

If he can get released, I don’t know who can’t get released,
