DETROIT (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court has made sweeping changes to the state’s sentencing law. The court struck down automatic, no-parole prison terms for 19 and 20-year-olds convicted of murder. As a result, hundreds of people will be eligible to return to courts around Michigan for new sentences and an opportunity for freedom. The Supreme Court says mandatory life sentences for people who were 19 and 20 at the time of the crime violate a ban against “cruel or unusual punishment” in the Michigan Constitution.
