SCOTUSblog flags three notable new sentencing cert petitions Last year around this time, I expressed my sense that it has been quite some time since the Supreme Court has taken up a really big and interesting sentencing case.  This post from near the end of last year s SCOTUS Term, titled Do others sense that SCOTUS has become particularly (and problematically?) quiet on sentencing matters? , captured this zeitgeist.  In the year since, we have gotten a few notable sentencing rulings (on juve LWOP in Jones and on ACCA predicates in Borden, but these decisions are more clarifications than game-changers. I review these broad realities not just because we are approaching the close of another SCOTUS Term, but also because SCOTUSblog has this new post spotlighting three new cert petitions that could each lead to a significant sentencing ruling.  Here some details from a post worth reading in full:
