Supreme Court of Colorado

The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner v. Atorrus Leon Rainer, Respondent

May 22, 2017394 P.3d 1141

Summary

The court held that the Eighth Amendment rules announced in Graham and Miller do not apply to an aggregate term-of-years sentence imposed on a juvenile convicted of multiple offenses. Because those decisions therefore did not invalidate Rainer's 112-year sentence, the court reversed the court of appeals. Justice Gabriel did not participate.
