In 2012, the California Supreme Court made a decision in a case about a teenager named Rodrigo Caballero. Rodrigo was given a very long prison sentence (110 years to life) for trying to hurt someone. The Court said this punishment was wrong because it was too harsh and didn't give Rodrigo a chance to learn from his mistakes and become a better person. This important case changed how judges in California decide punishments for teenagers who break the law.
