SCO­TUS­blog: Juve­nile death sen­tences nul­li­fied:

The Supreme Court ruled 5–4 on Tues­day that the death penal­ty “is a dis­pro­por­tion­ate pun­ish­ment for juve­niles,” and thus it vio­lates the Eighth Amend­ment to impose a death sen­tence on a youth­ful mur­der­er who com­mit­ted the crime before age 18. Today, the Court said, “soci­ety views juve­niles as cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly less cul­pa­ble than the aver­age criminal.”

Or as Snoop might say:
