California Court of Appeal

Sentence of life without the possibility of parole (LWOP) for committing felony murder when defendant was only four months shy of his 18th birthday, is affirmed over his contentions that his sentence violates the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and that California's sentencing scheme as well as specific Penal Code provisions violate the equal protection and due process clauses of the U.S. Constitution.
