Question Presented (from Petition)
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit's decision misapplied the established precedent regarding circumstances that could support a finding that Henry acted with premeditation as an accomplice to the killing. Henry's petition should be granted because the circuit court's decision is a drastic departure from the court's prior decisions.
Whether Henry's life sentence was greater than necessary to accomplish the purposes of sentencing set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), considering Henry's role in the offense and youthful age.
