ABSTRACT
The first chapter in Part VI discusses what the Supreme Court meant by the “rarest of the rare” in court decisions related to the sentencing of violent youth. This chapter opens with the David Biro case. Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins helps to guide a discussion into why Biro might be one of those rare individuals who deserves a life sentence. These leads to looking at the research and expert opinions as to why prosecutors cannot know which juveniles should be given life without the possibility of parole sentences.
