Should juveniles who commit murder ever be given a second chance, or do they deserve to be locked up for life? In 2012 that question made its way to the Supreme Court in a landmark case argued by renowned attorney and activist Bryan Stevenson. While not a slam dunk, their ruling gave Sterling hope for an eventual release.
Watch Sterling share some good news with his friends in the video Fresh Hope. In The Rehearsal, we see Sterling’s legal team prepare for the 2020 hearing.
