Prof. Perry Moriearty Quoted in Star Tribune about Proposed Changes in Juvenile Justice in Minnesota

Professor Perry Moriearty was quoted by the Star Tribune in an article discussing potential shift in the juvenile justice landscape in Minnesota. Upcoming legislation could reduce the severity of punishment for juvenile crime, and provide second chances to those facing life in prison. Commenting on the severity of a life sentence, Professor Moriearty remarked, "We have a lot of people sitting in prison now who've been there for decades for juvenile offenses, who have done everything they can possibly do to show that they're ready to come home."
