Jedlicka v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment rejecting Jedlicka's challenge to his juvenile sentencing. It held that his concurrent 60-year sentence, with parole eligibility after 25 years, was not a de facto life-without-parole sentence or grossly disproportionate, and that the Eighth Amendment did not require an individualized youth-focused sentencing proceeding because his sentence was parole-eligible. The court also held that the Maryland Constitution generally provides no greater protection in this context.
