Alejandro Estrada-Huerta, Petitioner v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent

Summary

The court held that Graham and Miller do not apply to an aggregate term-of-years sentence imposed on a juvenile convicted of multiple offenses, and therefore do not invalidate Estrada-Huerta's forty-years-to-life sentence. The court affirmed the court of appeals, but on grounds different from those relied on below. Justice Gabriel concurred in the judgment, concluding that de facto life-without-parole sentences may implicate Graham and Miller but that this sentence was not de facto life without parole because Estrada-Huerta would be eligible for parole at age fifty-eight.
