3 later decisions quote this exact passage“the United States Supreme Court, in Roper , would not have recognized a sentence of life without parole as an acceptable alternative to death as a punishment for juveniles who commit intentional Murder in the First Degree, if such a sentence would violate the Eighth Amendment.
