Pennsylvania Supreme Court to weigh parole for felony murder lifers
Original: Pa. Supreme Court agrees to address whether those serving life for felony murder can seek parole
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to take up the question of whether people serving life sentences for felony murder can seek parole. A ruling could change the outlook for a significant group of lifers in the state, where felony murder convictions carry mandatory life terms without parole eligibility. The case is being closely watched by criminal justice reform advocates and prosecutors alike.
Why now: The state's highest court taking the case could reshape sentencing for many inmates convicted of felony murder.
