    Sure, but that sounds like the exact sort of case a parole board would deny. The author here isn’t saying we should abolish life in prison sentences for juveniles, just that they should all be able to at least apply for parole and try to convince the board that they’re no longer a danger to others.

      Only takes one board that has a few idiots on it, major prison overcrowding, or him learning to play the jesus card, and he could be out on the street.
