Chance to hear about oral arguments for juvenile life without parole

C-Span has put its On America and the Courts on the web.
It begins with a summary of what the oral arguments were
for Terrance Graham who was 16 when he committed his
non-violent crime and was sentenced to life without parole.
The other case also involving life without parole was Sullivan v.
Florida and involved a 13-year old.

Then there was a portion where reporters ask questions
of the attorneys who represented the youth.

The next portion is a group which represents victims of
juveniles and the group opposes parole because it puts
the victim in the position of having to relive the event

You can see and hear the video here
over and over again.
