Although this is a very technical ruling, its basic gist is that state supreme courts can’t rely upon novel state procedural rules to prevent state prisoners from bringing federal constitutional claims, (John) Cruz may or may not prevail on his federal claim – that he had a right to have the jury know that a life sentence would be without parole. But he now gets to make that argument in the first place.

My campaign has released aone-sentence press release calling Donald Trump a' jagoff,' which is Western Pennsylvania for jerk, populism has adark side and Donald Trump is mining that for all it’s worth by saying reprehensible things about Muslims, about immigrants, about you name it.

If Mr. Kelly served his full three-year sentence, he would still be in prison today, and four of our fellow citizens would still be alive, the problem is not the Memphis police department. The problem is the judicial system that will not punish.

The Council of Europe treaty, also known as a prisoner of transfer treaty, is not an acceptable remedy here for the family, that would involve Ridge coming home in custody, going to federal prison, waiting some period of months for the sentencing commission to act, and affix a charge and a sentence to the foreign offense, which would leave him a felon in his own country, for something that would never have been charged in this country and that's unacceptable.

One of the most glaring problems in Pennsylvania’s legal system is that we have mandatory life without parole as a sentence for first- and second- degree murder, and we also have many people serving these excessively long virtual life sentences, but we deny people serving these sentences any substantial avenues for relief.

Even if the defendant will probably not serve the full prison sentence due to his advanced age, the verdict is to be welcomed, the thousands of people who worked in the concentration camps kept the murder machinery running. They were part of the system, so they should take responsibility for it.

The fact that this continues to happen in this city, one in which I grew up in, one in which I love, is utterly disappointing, disgusting, there’s no value for human life. That value has been eroded over the years. Living in Chicago should not come with a death sentence, but it does for so many people who live here.

We know it is never easy for the survivors to see this man's name back in headlines ; it is our sincere hope this development marks the closure so many were still waiting for, his sentence has been upheld on multiple occasions now, and this denial only confirms his remaining years will be spent behind bars. We remain indebted to the brave voices that ultimately put him there.

Even if the reports about Navalny being transferred to the Melekhovo Penal Colony are true, it is hardly a relief. This colony is known to be one of the toughest and most torturous in Russia, before Navalny’s appeal to a nine-year sentence in a maximum-security prison was upheld, there were already rumors he would be transferred to this colony.
