Supreme Court applies global test

Memo to candidates and debaters:
The Supreme Court ruled that is is unconstitutional to seek the death penalty for juveniles. Justice Kennedy wrote the opinion, in which he affirmed that "It is proper that we acknowledge the overwhelming weight of international opinion against the juvenile death penalty, resting in large part on the understanding that the instability and emotional imbalance of young people may often be a factor in the crime."
