State of South Carolina, Respondent v. Conrad Lamont Slocumb, Petitioner.

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court denied relief, holding that the aggregate 130‑year sentence imposed on Conrad Slocumb, a juvenile at the time of his offenses, does not violate the Eighth Amendment under Graham because Graham’s holding is limited to de jure life‑without‑parole sentences. The Court declined to extend Graham’s reach and affirmed the lower court’s sentence.
