CHIEF JUSTICE TODD OPINION No. 3 WAP 2024 Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court entered June 13, 2023, at No. 1008 WDA 2021, Affirming the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County entered December 19, 2016, at No. CP-02-CR-0016878-2014. : : : : : : : : : : : ARGUED: October 8, 2024 DECIDED: MARCH 26, 2026 In this appeal by allowance, we granted allocatur to consider whether a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for a felony murder conviction violates the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution or Article I, Section 13 of the Pennsylvania Constitution.1 For the reasons that follow, we determine that a mandatory life without parole sentence for all felony murder convictions, absent an assessment of culpability, is inconsistent with the protections bestowed upon our citizens

under the “cruel punishments” clause of our Commonwealth’s organic charter.2 Thus, we reverse the order of the Superior Court, vacate Appellant’s judgment of sentence, and remand for resentencing. However, as we have done under similar circumstances, we stay our order for 120 days to provide a reasonable amount of time for the General Assembly to consider remedial measures.

BREAKING: The PA Supreme Court holds that mandatory life without parole sentences for all "felony murder" convictions -- a sentence more than 1,000 people in PA are serving -- violates the state constitution's "cruel" punishment ban. This is GROUNDBREAKING: www.pacourts.us/assets/opini...

If more income inequality, more fantasies about beating the rich.

Why don’t the rich understand this?

I was once a fun big sister, before the past decade beat me down.

Scandal, Protest, Goofiness, and Grandeur at the U.S. Bicentennial This year marks the two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the nation’s founding. The two hundredth wasn’t exactly smooth sailing.

Being old, I’ve been reflecting a lot in the past year about living here during the Bicentennial. Such a great piece by Jill Lepore. // Scandal, Protest, Goofiness, and Grandeur at the U.S.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

As Josh Shapiro seeks reelection, his business-friendly brand has drawn millions from CEOs — including some with interests in Harrisburg Dozens of CEOs in industries ranging from coal mining to gambling to real estate are helping to bankroll Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s campaign. His fundraising could invite scrutiny ahead of 2028.

We should try capping political donations in PA. Tell Mike Bloomberg & Yass & Bezos & Musk—from now on, the max donation to a candidate for governor is $1,000 or whatever. Letting Bloomberg give $2.5M to our governor is bananas, no matter who the governor is. share.inquirer.com/1LtrB5

I, for one, cannot wait for Pete Hegseth’s war crimes trial.

A white woman who is not a doctor & doesn’t believe in science is currently undergoing Senate confirmation hearings to be the US Surgeon General.

Black people, don’t EVER let these people tell you that you are a “diversity hire” or don’t deserve the roles you have so richly prepared for & earned.

Trump aides struggle with how to spend $500 billion more on military Some senior officials resisted the decision to approve the major military spending increase, sources say.

Oh, sure, we could fund health care, dental & vision for us all with that amount, who’s asking? Call me, I have thoughts about how to keep America safe! (from misery)

Rest in power, Rev. Jackson.

The number of detective novels featuring spunky young women that I’ve read in the last year is actually obscene.

The British aristocracy literally created a culture where eligible young women from good families were auctioned off to the highest bidder on the Marriage Mart, AS LONG AS THEY WERE VIRGINS. So how is the monarchy shocked by the Epstein Files revelations?

the whole point of being an american is eating food from every country on earth with people from that country and partying with them. that's the thing we're best at and it's fun as hell and i can't believe these dickheads are trying to fuck things up for us

It still is!

Everything the US has been doing to Black, Indigenous, immigrants, disabled, trans, and low income folks is now happening to white people. Everything the US has been doing to Palestinians via Israel is happening to white USians now.

Have we had enough? Are we finally going to fight for everyone?

Local ICE-watchers have done more to protect Venezuelans from fascist thugs than the entire Democratic caucus over the last 12 months.
