Oakland County Inmates Sentenced To Life As Juveniles Could Get A Second Chance To Re-Enter Society

(CBS DETROIT) – Oakland County inmates sentenced to life as juveniles could get a second chance to re-enter society.

Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald filed re-sentencing notices on behalf of 22 state prison inmates.

McDonald’s office says after reviewing the cases, two inmates will remain on life sentences.

This comes after a 2012 Supreme Court ruling declared juvenile life sentences without the possibility of parole unconstitutional.
