17-year-old murder convict Robert Tulloch challenges life-without-parole sentence in light of 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on juvenile offenders.
Robert Tulloch, convicted at 17 for the 2001 murders of Dartmouth College professors, is contesting his life-without-parole sentence, claiming it violates the New Hampshire Constitution. His lawyer argues that the state prohibits such sentences for juvenile offenders. This challenge follows a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that deemed mandatory life sentences for juveniles as "cruel and unusual." A hearing is set to address the case's legal issues.
