2025Cite as 338 Or App 509 (2025) 521 And to the extent that the Parole Board argues that its Chair’s comments were describing the impact of SB 1027 on the “exit interview” that ORS 144.125 permits—rather than the murder review hearing under ORS 163.105—it is important to recognize that “actual rehabilitation” does not apply in that context either.

Graham v. Florida green
scotus · 2010

2021Moreover, according to defendant, the murder-review hearing is not a meaning- ful opportunity for release because the “default is for the board to deny relief unless the juvenile offender has satis- fied the listed criteria.” Defendant accurately describes the mechanics of the statutory scheme, but his argument fails to show that the scheme does not provide a “meaningful opportunity to obtain release.” That phrase has its origins in Graham, which, as discussed above, held that life without parole for juvenile nonhomicide offenders is cruel and unusual punishment. 560 US at 82 .

2021Cite as 367 Or 625 (2021) 629 Thus, in 2001, a juvenile who committed aggravated murder at the age of 15, 16, or 17 years old would automatically be tried in adult criminal court but, unlike an adult, could be sentenced only to “life imprisonment without the possibil- ity of release or parole” or “life imprisonment.” A defendant who received the latter sentence would have to serve at least 30 years before being entitled to a murder-review hearing at which the board would determine whether the sentence should be converted to life with the possibility of parole.
