Summary
Robert Veal was found guilty of serious crimes when he was 17 years old. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of ever being released. He asked for a new trial because the Supreme Court made a new rule about people sentenced to life in prison without parole. Georgia's Supreme Court agreed to look at Veal's case again, partly because of the new Supreme Court rule and partly because the judge who sentenced Veal didn't specifically say that Veal could never be rehabilitated.
