Peterson v. State green
missctapp · 2012
1 sentence

2019Peterson contended the statute’s age requirement, which made him ineligible for parole or conditional release, “violate[d] his constitutional rights under the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and the comparative portions of the Mississippi Constitution” because the statute “unfairly require[d] a younger prisoner to serve a longer sentence than an older prisoner.” Id. at (¶¶2, 5).
