Qu'eed Batts, a killer at 14, has twice won resentencings after the courts threw out the life-without-parole terms he received for gunning down one teenager and wounding another in a gang-ordered shooting in Easton in 2006.
An appeals court has upheld the life-without-parole term that 14-year-old Easton killer Qu'eed Batts received last year at resentencing, and it declined to add heightened protections at sentencing for juveniles convicted of murder.
The state Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal by 14-year-old Easton killer Qu'eed Batts, who has twice been sentenced to life in prison without parole and who has became a symbol in the debate over how the justice system treats juvenile offenders.
