The state Supreme Court split 4-2 on the decision
Crimes committed when an offender was a juvenile could still land that person a life sentence as an adult. The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled Monday that juvenile offenses could be considered under the “three strikes” law, passed in 1995, that requires a life sentence after the third offense of a violent crime — even if some of those offenses were before the age of 18.
