class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p>WASHINGTON (CBSMiami) \u2013 Perdido en medio del alboroto del expediente de la Corte Suprema el lunes se encontraba un fallo clave que trataba sobre la severidad del castigo que se le pod\u00eda imponer a un delincuente juvenil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El tribunal superior dictamin\u00f3 que las leyes que exigen que los menores condenados por asesinato sean condenados a cadena perpetua violan la prohibici\u00f3n de castigos crueles e inusuales contenida en la Octava Enmienda. El tribunal dej\u00f3 abierta la posibilidad de que cada menor sea condenado, caso por caso, a cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El fallo har\u00e1 que aproximadamente 2.000 delincuentes juveniles que cumplen cadena perpetua posiblemente reciban nuevas sentencias, incluido al menos un caso de alto perfil en el sur de Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Hern\u00e1ndez, quien fue condenado por el asesinato en 2004 de Jaime Gough, de 14 a\u00f1os, en el ba\u00f1o de la escuela secundaria Southwood. Hern\u00e1ndez tambi\u00e9n ten\u00eda 14 a\u00f1os en ese momento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Los padres de Jaime, Jorge y Mar\u00eda Gough, esperan que los jueces tengan en cuenta tanto a las v\u00edctimas como a los delincuentes al sentenciar a los asesinos juveniles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo s\u00e9 lo que es estar del otro lado como padres\u201d, dijo Jorge Gough. \"Pero s\u00e9 que duele mucho saber que ya nadie piensa en mi hijo y que todos se centran en Michael\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hern\u00e1ndez podr\u00eda obtener una nueva audiencia de sentencia. Los Gough dijeron que la audiencia sobre el fallo de la Corte Suprema les trajo recuerdos dolorosos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEscuchamos esta noticia ayer y es como si tuvi\u00e9ramos un flashback del primer d\u00eda, y Dios m\u00edo, tenemos que pasar por esto de nuevo, \u00bfcu\u00e1ndo terminar\u00e1?\u201d dijo Jorge Gough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c9l y su esposa Mar\u00eda dicen que han perdonado al asesino de su hijo pero a\u00fan quieren que pague por su crimen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Definitivamente hemos dado un paso adelante para proteger a los ni\u00f1os\", dijo la abogada Julie Ebenstein, de la Uni\u00f3n Estadounidense de Libertades Civiles de Florida. \u201cCreo que es otro reconocimiento por parte del tribunal de que los ni\u00f1os no son s\u00f3lo adultos en miniatura; que tienen necesidades especiales\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La decisi\u00f3n 5-4 se dividi\u00f3 seg\u00fan la ideolog\u00eda pol\u00edtica y el juez Anthony Kennedy proporcion\u00f3 el voto decisivo a los jueces m\u00e1s liberales. La decisi\u00f3n se tom\u00f3 en una combinaci\u00f3n de casos, Miller contra Alabama y Jackson contra Hobbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ebenstein se\u00f1al\u00f3 que Estados Unidos es la \u00fanica naci\u00f3n del mundo que condena a ni\u00f1os a cadena perpetua por cualquier motivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Los jueces y jurados deben poder adaptar las sentencias a un delito particular y a un acusado en particular\", dijo Ebenstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLa cadena perpetua obligatoria sin libertad condicional para un menor impide considerar su edad cronol\u00f3gica y sus caracter\u00edsticas distintivas, entre ellas, inmadurez, impetuosidad y falta de apreciaci\u00f3n de los riesgos y consecuencias\u201d, escribi\u00f3 la jueza Elena Kagan en nombre de la mayor\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPor lo tanto, sostenemos que la Octava Enmienda proh\u00edbe un sistema de sentencia que imponga cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional para delincuentes juveniles\u201d, escribi\u00f3 el juez Kagan. \u201cAl hacer que la juventud (y todo lo que la acompa\u00f1a) sea irrelevante para la imposici\u00f3n de la pena de prisi\u00f3n m\u00e1s dura, tal plan plantea un riesgo demasiado grande de castigo desproporcionado\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La decisi\u00f3n no abord\u00f3 ninguno de los casos. En cambio, el tribunal superior anul\u00f3 la cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional como pena para los menores. Luego envi\u00f3 ambos casos de regreso a tribunales inferiores para abordar la sentencia con las nuevas pautas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El fallo del tribunal superior devuelve la carga de la pena a los jueces cuando un menor es declarado culpable de asesinato. Los jueces no proporcionaron pautas o factores espec\u00edficos para controlar la decisi\u00f3n del juez sentenciador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAunque no excluimos la capacidad del sentenciador de emitir ese juicio en casos de homicidio, le exigimos que tenga en cuenta en qu\u00e9 se diferencian los ni\u00f1os y c\u00f3mo esas diferencias desaconsejan sentenciarlos irrevocablemente a cadena perpetua\u201d, escribi\u00f3 el juez Kagan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El abogado defensor penal Frank Gaviria dijo que el fallo de la Corte Suprema era \u201cuna decisi\u00f3n importante\u201d, pero advirti\u00f3 que la cadena perpetua todav\u00eda est\u00e1 sobre la mesa para los menores que matan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEn algunos de estos casos, en \u00faltima instancia, los jueces, cuando tengan la oportunidad de volver a dictar sentencia, seguir\u00e1n imponiendo la cadena perpetua\u201d, dijo Gaviria. \"Pero me imagino que en otros casos el juez usar\u00e1 cierta discreci\u00f3n e impondr\u00e1 penas inferiores a la cadena perpetua\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/miami.cbslocal.com\" data-type=\"URL\"

Court Overturns Mandatory Life W\/Out Parole For Juveniles WASHINGTON (CBSMiami) \u2013 Lost amidst the hubbub of the Supreme Court\u2019s docket on Monday was a key ruling dealing with how severe of a punishment a juvenile offender could be given. The high court ruled that laws which require juveniles convicted of murder to be sentenced to life in prison violates the Eighth Amendment\u2019s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The court left open the possibility of individual juveniles to be sentenced on a case-by-case basis to life without parole. The ruling will see roughly 2,000 juvenile offenders serving life in prison possibly receiving new sentences, including at least one high profile case in South Florida. Michael Hernandez who was convicted of the 2004 murder of 14 year old Jaime Gough in the bathroom at Southwood Middle School. Hernandez was also 14 at the time. Jaime\u2019s parents, Jorge and Maria Gough hope that judges will take into account the victims as well as the offenders when sentencing juvenile killers. \u201cI don\u2019t know what it is to be on the other side as parents,\u201d said Jorge Gough. \u201cBut I know for one thing, It hurts very much to know no one thinks about my son anymore and everyone is focusing on Michael.\u201d Hernandez could get a new sentencing hearing. The Goughs said hearing about the Supreme Court ruling brought back painful memories. \u201cWe heard this news yesterday and it\u2019s just like we got a flashback of the first day, and my goodness we\u2019ve got to go through this again when is this going to be over?\u201d said Jorge Gough. He and his wife Maria say they have forgiven their son\u2019s killer but they still want him to pay for his crime. \u201cWe\u2019ve definitely taken a step forward for protecting children,\u201d said attorney Julie Ebenstein, of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida. \u201cI think it\u2019s another recognition by the court that children are not just miniature adults; that they have special needs.\u201d The 5-4 decision divided along political ideology lines with Justice Anthony Kennedy providing the swing vote to the more liberal justices. The decision came on a combination of cases, Miller vs. Alabama and Jackson vs. Hobbs. Ebenstein noted the United State is the only nation in the world that sentences children to life in prison for anything. \u201cJudges and juries need to be able to tailor sentences to a particular crime and a particular defendant,\u201d Ebenstein said. \u201cMandatory life without parole for a juvenile precludes consideration of his chronological age and its hallmark features\u2014among them, immaturity, impetuosity, and failure to appreciate risks and consequences,\u201d Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the majority. \u201cWe therefore hold that the Eighth Amendment forbids a sentencing scheme that mandates life in prison without possibility of parole for juvenile offenders,\u201d Justice Kagan wrote. \u201cBy making youth (and all that accompanies it) irrelevant to imposition of that harshest prison sentence, such a scheme poses too great a risk of disproportionate punishment.\u201d The decision didn\u2019t address either of the cases. Instead, the high court struck down life without parole as a penalty for juveniles. It then sent both cases back to lower courts to address the sentence with the new guidelines. The high court\u2019s ruling places the burden of the sentence back upon sentencing judges when a juvenile is convicted of murder. The justices didn\u2019t provide specific guidelines or factors to control the sentencing judge\u2019s decision. \u201cAlthough we do not foreclose a sentencer\u2019s ability to make that judgment in homicide cases, we require it to take into account how children are different, and how those differences counsel against irrevocably sentencing them to a lifetime in prison,\u201d Justice Kagan wrote. Criminal defense attorney Frank Gaviria said the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling was \u201can important decision\u201d But, he warned that life in prison is still on the table for juveniles who kill. \u201cIn some of these cases, ultimately, the judges, when they get an opportunity to resentence, will continue to impose life,\u201d Gaviria said. \u201cBut I would imagine in some other cases the judge will use some discretion and impose penalties less than life.\u201d miami.cbslocal.com Latest Posts School fight caught on cameraAugust 18, 2023 Cops took $22 million cash stuffed in buckets from his home.

The high court ruled that laws which require juveniles convicted of murder to be sentenced to life in prison violates the Eighth Amendment\u2019s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The court left open the possibility of individual juveniles to be sentenced on a case-by-case basis to life without parole. The ruling will see roughly 2,000 juvenile offenders serving life in prison possibly receiving new sentences, including at least one high profile case in South Florida. Michael Hernandez who was convicted of the 2004 murder of 14 year old Jaime Gough in the bathroom at Southwood Middle School. Hernandez was also 14 at the time. Jaime\u2019s parents, Jorge and Maria Gough hope that judges will take into account the victims as well as the offenders when sentencing juvenile killers. \u201cI don\u2019t know what it is to be on the other side as parents,\u201d said Jorge Gough. \u201cBut I know for one thing, It hurts very much to know no one thinks about my son anymore and everyone is focusing on Michael.\u201d Hernandez could get a new sentencing hearing. The Goughs said hearing about the Supreme Court ruling brought back painful memories. \u201cWe heard this news yesterday and it\u2019s just like we got a flashback of the first day, and my goodness we\u2019ve got to go through this again when is this going to be over?\u201d said Jorge Gough. He and his wife Maria say they have forgiven their son\u2019s killer but they still want him to pay for his crime. \u201cWe\u2019ve definitely taken a step forward for protecting children,\u201d said attorney Julie Ebenstein, of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida. \u201cI think it\u2019s another recognition by the court that children are not just miniature adults; that they have special needs.\u201d The 5-4 decision divided along political ideology lines with Justice Anthony Kennedy providing the swing vote to the more liberal justices. The decision came on a combination of cases, Miller vs. Alabama and Jackson vs. Hobbs. Ebenstein noted the United State is the only nation in the world that sentences children to life in prison for anything. \u201cJudges and juries need to be able to tailor sentences to a particular crime and a particular defendant,\u201d Ebenstein said. \u201cMandatory life without parole for a juvenile precludes consideration of his chronological age and its hallmark features\u2014among them, immaturity, impetuosity, and failure to appreciate risks and consequences,\u201d Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the majority. \u201cWe therefore hold that the Eighth Amendment forbids a sentencing scheme that mandates life in prison without possibility of parole for juvenile offenders,\u201d Justice Kagan wrote. \u201cBy making youth (and all that accompanies it) irrelevant to imposition of that harshest prison sentence, such a scheme poses too great a risk of disproportionate punishment.\u201d The decision didn\u2019t address either of the cases. Instead, the high court struck down life without parole as a penalty for juveniles. It then sent both cases back to lower courts to address the sentence with the new guidelines. The high court\u2019s ruling places the burden of the sentence back upon sentencing judges when a juvenile is convicted of murder. The justices didn\u2019t provide specific guidelines or factors to control the sentencing judge\u2019s decision. \u201cAlthough we do not foreclose a sentencer\u2019s ability to make that judgment in homicide cases, we require it to take into account how children are different, and how those differences counsel against irrevocably sentencing them to a lifetime in prison,\u201d Justice Kagan wrote. Criminal defense attorney Frank Gaviria said the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling was \u201can important decision\u201d But, he warned that life in prison is still on the table for juveniles who kill. \u201cIn some of these cases, ultimately, the judges, when they get an opportunity to resentence, will continue to impose life,\u201d Gaviria said. \u201cBut I would imagine in some other cases the judge will use some discretion and impose penalties less than life.\u201d miami.cbslocal.com Latest Posts School fight caught on cameraAugust 18, 2023 Cops took $22 million cash stuffed in buckets from his home.
