Featuring: Kristina Kersey, Senior Youth Defense Counsel
We are revisiting Jones v. Mississippi as the decision came as a shock and disappointment to juvenile justice advocates across the country. With recent Miller and Montgomery decisions, the expectation was that the court would rule to reduce the sentence of Jones. Kristina helps us review Jones' path to the Supreme Court and what the potential impact of this decision might be.
