WAS IT CRUEL AND UNUSUAL TO CONDEMN HENDERSON'S AMBLE FROM 25-TO-LIFE PLUS FIFTEEN, TO LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE WITHOUT A COURT HEARING, AFTER SERVING 30 YEARS AND DENYING A HENDERSONS YOUTH OFFENDER PAROLE UNDER SECTION 1170?

IS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT IMPOSED TO THE FORM OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE OR IMPRISONMENT?
