Why we checked itA specific legal ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is asserted — verifiable against court records
What we foundThe Pennsylvania Supreme Court did rule that mandatory life without parole for second-degree (felony) murder is unconstitutional, but the ruling does not bar life without parole entirely — it requires individualized sentencing and does not apply to defendants who were the actual killer.
