2. “"According to defendant, * * * 'the heart of the problem with such a sentence' is not the length of the sentence, but the imposition of a mandatory sentence on a juvenile without accounting for the offender's age and other 'age-related characteristics.' As such, defendant claims that the reasoning in Miller should be extended to essentially any statute that imposes a mandatory minimum sentence on a juvenile without allowing the sentencing court to consider the offender's status as a juvenile."”

Simply put, ORS 137.707(2) does not mandate life imprisonment without parole for those under the age of 18 at the time of their crimes and we understand Miller 's reach to be limited to such a penalty."”
