Retired Superior Court Judge of Santa Clara, California, Eugene Hyman discusses how California s Supreme Court is deciding whether a life sentence should be imposed for attempted homicide cases.
California judges are tyring to be compliant with the Supreme Court decision that it is cruel and/or unusual punishment for a juvenile to receive a life sentence for a non-homicidal case in today s standard. Eugene Hyman, retired Superior Court Judge of Santa Clara, California says that the California Supreme Court is trying to see if they can impose a life sentence for attempted homicide.
A sentence of 75 years is technically not a life sentence but in reality, it can be. For a juvenile, 75 years is cruel and unusual punishment and in trying to determine if receiving 75 years for attempted homicide is cruel and unusual punishment for a juvenile, the California courts are not giving many clues as to how they ll decide, according to Judge Hyman.
Judge Hyman adds that the California courts are also looking at aggregate sentences, as juveniles can receive a life sentence for not one crime but multiple crimes, as a way to side-step the issue.
Honorable Judge Eugene Hyman has received numerous awards and recognition for his work with families and children and has appeared on numerous television news shows.

The inquiry into the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya by conservatives to this point has been little more than an expression of white supremacy and political theater. What the inquiry is saying is that only "American" lives matter and not the lives of the thousands killed in Libya or those that are still being killed and displaced from their homes due to ethnic cleansing by forces backed by the United States. The…
