High court again bars teen death penalty in Georgia case
The Supreme Court ordered a rerun of Andrew Legare s death sentence for a 1977 murder when he was 17, guiding Georgia to consider youth and mental background per its recent ruling on minors in capital cases. The decision affects other inmates who committed crimes as minors, with case-by-case reviews likely. Legare, now 21, escaped from a state facility, broke into a home, killed the homeowner’s associate, and faced sentencing despite claims of a deprived upbringing.
