Question Presented (from Petition)
Are Mandatory Transfer Schemes also apart of SCOTUS' 8th Amendment ban of mandatory penalty schemes against children?
Did the United States Supreme Court ruling in the case of Miller v Alabama, 567 U.S. 460, 132 S. Ct. 2455, 183 L. Ed. 2d 407 (2012), and Montgomery v Louisiana, U.S., 136 S.
