ADVANCE FOR USE MONDAY, JULY 31, 2017 AND THEREAFTER-This photo provided by the American Civil Liberties Union in July 2017 shows a school identification card for Bobby Hines. When he was 15, just out of eighth grade, he was in court answering for his role in the murder of a man over a friend's drug debt. He did not fire the deadly shot, but when he and two others confronted 21-year-old James Warren, Hines said something like, "Let him have it," words that sealed his conviction and punishment: mandatory life with no chance for parole. At 43, he returned for a resentencing hearing this spring and is set to be paroled in September. (ACLU via AP)
