ADVANCE FOR USE WEDNESDAY, AUG. 2, 2017 AND THEREAFTER-This undated photo provided by the Florida Department of Corrections shows Angelo Atwell. In Florida, a 2016 Supreme Court ruling said juvenile offenders who were eligible for parole must be resentenced to ensure they have a real opportunity for release. It involved the case of Atwell, who got life with the possibility of parole after 25 years for a murder he committed at 16. When it came time for Atwell to argue for his freedom, the state calculated his presumptive release date as 2130 — 140 years after sentencing. "While technically Atwell is parole eligible, it is a virtual certainty that Atwell will spend the rest of his life in prison," the justices wrote, and his sentence, "virtually indistinguishable from a sentence of life without parole, is therefore unconstitutional."
