Maryland court orders re-sentencing for three men convicted of murder as teens

Maryland's second-highest court on Tuesday ordered new sentencing hearings for three men convicted of murders they committed as juveniles, saying the judges who sentenced them to life in prison without parole did not consider whether they could be rehabilitated.

In three opinions, the Court of Special Appeals noted that the Supreme Court has held that such sentences should be reserved for the "rare juvenile offender whose crime reflects irreparable corruption."

The decisions grant new sentencing hearings to Aaron Dwayne Holly, who was convicted in Baltimore County; Marcus William Tunstall, convicted in Prince George's County; and Kenneth Benjamin Alvira, convicted in Wicomico County.

Come on really - the one in Wicomico county stabbed a woman multiple times, and left her to die! You think you can rehabilitate someone like that? Yeah and you can make everyone of us Millionaires as well!
