Most courts have understood the Supreme Court's 2010 decision to mean that the Constitution prohibits sentences like the one I gave to Bostic. While I did not technically give him "life without parole," I placed on his shoulders a prison term of so many years combined that there is no way he will ever be considered for release. He won't become eligible for parole until he is 112 years old — which means he will die in prison, regardless of whether he rehabilitates himself or changes as he grows older.
