Supreme Court bans juvenile death penalty nationwide
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to outlaw capital punishment for offenders who were under 18 at the time of their crimes, overturning a 1989 decision. Nineteen states had allowed juvenile executions. the ruling cites a strong international and national consensus against such sentences and states that 18 marks the line between youth and adulthood. Justice Kennedy wrote for the majority, while Justice Scalia dissented, arguing no true consensus exists.
