No Mandatory Minimums for Juveniles
The Iowa Supreme Court has recently ruled in a case
called State v. Lyle that juveniles comicted of any crime
in Iowa cannot be given a mandatory minimum sen-
tence. This 4-3 decision makes Iowa one of the most le-
nient states in the union when it comes to sentencing
juveniles for crimes. The reason given by the Court is
that a minimum sentence for a juvenile is cruel and un-
usual punishment in violation of the constitution.
This line of cases began in 2010 when the U.S. Su-
preme Court ruled that life in prison without the possi-
bility of parole for juveniles in non-homicide cases was
cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the 8th
amendment to the U.S. Constitution. A number of states
including Iowa provided for life sentences without the
possibility of parole for juveniles and adults if convicted
of one of several serious felonies. I managed the bill in
the Iowa House to address the issue by providing for a
minimum of 25 years in the case of non-homicide crimes
committed by juveniles. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled that mandatory life sentences without khe possi-
bility of parole were cruel and unusual .punishment,
even in cases of first degree murder. I tried, unsuccess-
fully, to get a bill passed to address this issue.
In the Lyle case, the crime was robbery. The Iowa Su-
preme Court ruled that Lyle's sentence of seven years
minimum before he would be eligible for parole was
also cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the
Constitution. The Court majority ruled that when the
defendant is a juvenile, them can be no mandatory mini-
mum sentence. It said that the trial court must take into
consideration a number of factors regarding that spe-
cific defendant in passing sentence. Three of the seven
Supreme Court Judges dissented. If this situation goes
on for any length of time, we will soon have commenta-
tors and perhaps courts complaining that sentences for
juveniles are different depending on the judge who does
the sentencing. This will be criticized as unfair and per-
haps a violation of equal protection concepts.
In making these rulings the Courts have overturned
the sentencing laws of most states in the nation. I be-
lieve this is another case of courts legislating from the
bench, substituting their opinions for the will of the
people expressed through their elected representatives.
Hopefull)¢ we will be able to address this issue when
we convene in January.
As always, feel free to contact me with your ideas or
concerns at Jul!an.Garrett@legis.iowa.gov or 515-281-
3371.
