In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled in Miller v. Alabama that it was unconstitutional to automatically sentence juveniles to life in prison without the possibility of parole. This decision had significant implications for individuals who had received such sentences in the past.
In the 2021 case of United States v. Corey Grant, the court addressed the implications of Miller v. Alabama. Corey Grant had been sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1992 for crimes he committed at the age of 16. Due to the Miller v. Alabama ruling, Grant was resentenced in 2021. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's decision to reduce Grant's sentence to 60 years. The court's decision considered Grant's age at the time of the crimes and his potential for rehabilitation, reflecting the principle that juvenile offenders are distinct from adults in terms of their developmental maturity and capacity for change.

In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that it was against the law to give young people life in prison without the chance of ever getting out. This ruling changed things for Corey Grant, who was sentenced to life in prison in 1992 for crimes he committed at the age of 16.
Because of the Supreme Court’s ruling, Grant’s sentence was reviewed in 2021. A court in Pennsylvania decided to reduce Grant’s sentence to 60 years. They considered how young Grant was when he committed the crimes and whether he could change his behavior. A higher court agreed with this decision.

In 2012, the Supreme Court said that it's not fair to give kids who are 17 or younger a life sentence in prison without a chance to get out. This means they can't be locked up forever.
A man named Corey Grant was given a life sentence in 1992 when he was 16 years old. Because of the Supreme Court's decision, Grant got a new trial. The judges decided to change Grant's sentence to 60 years in prison. They thought about how young Grant was when he did the wrong things and whether he could change his life.
