This petition is for parole eligibility for Shawn Davis, a juvenile homicide offender serving a life without parole sentence in Mississippi. In 2012 the United States Supreme Court Ruled It Unconstitutional To Automatically Sentence a juvenile to life without parole in their ruling of miller v. Alabama. In 2013 the Mississippi Supreme Court Said The sentencing authority only had to take in the five miller factors. Due to that ruling more than 25% of the original eighty plus juveniles were resentenced to life without parole, including Shawn Davis. In 2016 the United States Supreme Court said in Montgomery v. Louisiana that miller was retroactive and reiterated that sentencing children to die in prison should be rare. In 2021 due to the new conservative outlook of the united states supreme court they ruled in Jones v. Mississippi that A judge doesn't have to consider incorrigiblity in order to sentence or resentence a juvenile to life without parole in prison. The Mississippi Legislature wanted to give juvenile homicide offenders eligibility of parole after 20 years but due to the conservative outlook of the Mississippi governor who said he wouldn't sign anything giving parole eligibility to anyone convicted of murder and serving life without parole Shawn Davis and other juveniles in Mississippi prisons are destined to die in prison. Even though the growing consensus for juvenile life without parole has changed throughout the country and in Mississippi.
