Henry Montgomery has been in jail for 55 years as of April 2019, for killing a police officer in 1963 when he was 17 years old. He is now 73 years old but because of his case, the U.S supreme court created a pathway for hundreds of prisoners convicted of awful crimes as JUVENILES to earn freedom! However, he has tried 2 different times to be let go and be able to be on parole. The last parole hearing was not granted because 1/3 parole board members thought he should do more programs. 

  Let’s keep in mind because of Montgomery’s victory with the U.S supreme court, Andrew Hundley (a WHITE male) was the first person to be allowed parole. He beat a 14 year old to death well he was 15 and tried to dispose the body. Two decades later because of Montgomery, Hundley was allowed to go on parole. 

Montgomery has a decent record in jail and his offense was in 2013.
