In introducing Senate Bill 256 with Sen. Nathan Manning (R-North Ridgeville) in February 2020, former state senator Peggy Lehner (R-Kettering) explained it has a simple concept: to bar life sentences without parole for juvenile offenders.”
The bill, now law, is similar to ones in 23 other states following rulings from the US Supreme Court over the last 15 years. Those rulings have banned mandatory life sentences without parole for juveniles who didn t commit murder, have said judges need to consider a teenage killer s youth when imposing a sentence, and have noted research showing that young adult brains aren’t fully developed until the age of 25.
