(11/16/12) - The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled Friday that teenagers
convicted of murder will not get new re-sentencing hearings.
Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Miller v. Alabama that in
the future, judges will have a choice, and teenagers convicted of murder do not
have to be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
In response, a convicted murderer named Raymond Carp tried to secure parole,
even though he had already been sentenced without it.
Friday, the Michigan Court of Appeals denied Carp's request for a new
hearing, saying the U.S. Supreme Court ruling does not apply retroactively.
The decision follows a federal precedent set in the 1989 case Teague v.
Lane that U.S. Supreme Court ruling are not retroactive for judicial
process matters.
