Transcript:

Summary:

Ms. Falcon was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of a first-degree murder she committed at the age of 15. Mr. Horsley was also sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of a first-degree murder he committed at the age of 17. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that juveniles could not be sentenced to life in prison without parole if courts did not consider their youth in the sentencing process. Ms. Falcon and Mr. Horsley are asking this Court for relief in the light of that federal decision.
