Pennsylvania Supreme Court to decide parole rights for felony murder lifers
Original: Pa. Supreme Court agrees to address whether those serving life for felony murder can seek parole
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to take up the question of whether people serving life sentences for felony murder can seek parole. Felony murder holds defendants liable for deaths occurring during the commission of another felony, even without intent to kill. A ruling could open a path to parole for many incarcerated people across the state.
Why now: The court's decision to hear the issue could affect the sentences of many inmates serving life without parole for felony murder convictions.
