Long After Landmark Decision, Evan Miller Still Waits for Resentencing [JJIE.org]

In the nearly four years since the U.S. Supreme Court decided that juveniles can’t be subject to mandatory life-without-parole sentences, hundreds of juvenile offenders have been given a chance at eventual release.

Evan Miller — whose name is on that decision — isn’t one of them.

Miller has been locked up since he was 14 for the July 2003 killing of a neighbor, Cole Cannon. The 52-year-old Cannon was beaten, robbed and left for dead in his mobile home, which Miller and another teen set ablaze to cover up the crime. A jury in his hometown of Moulton, Alabama, convicted him of capital murder in 2006.
