The article discusses the issue of juveniles sentenced to life without parole in the United States, despite a 2012 Supreme Court decision declaring it cruel and unusual punishment. Two-thirds of those sentenced before the ruling have yet to be resentenced, and racial disparities have worsened, with Black people making up 77% of juveniles sentenced to life without parole since the ruling. North Carolina is among the top 10 states that still allow this sentencing option. The article also mentions a separate ruling by the North Carolina Supreme Court, which stated that individuals and law firms making false claims of fraudulent voting cannot be sued for defamation.
