Research shows juveniles differ from adults in ways that are meaningful for their criminal responsibility (i.e., impulsivity, susceptibility to peer influence, and ability to consider the future - including thinking about consequences of potential actions), thus warranting less harsh punishment.

For the first time in nearly 30 years, the EPA under Trump failed to release the U.S.’s annual greenhouse gas emissions report. So a nonprofit did it instead. Facts don’t disappear just because the government refuses to print them. Read their findings below ⬇️ www.cbsnews.com/news/greenho...

NEW: In a landmark ruling, Michigan's supreme court has struck down mandatory life without parole sentences for youth up to age 21. What this means: Nearly 600 Michiganders who expected to die in prison will now get a shot at a different outcome. I took a few days to write about what's next:
