Answer to Question 1

The Court has held that it is unconstitutional to execute a person who committed a capital crime while younger than age 18; it also held that the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment prohibits juveniles who commit non-homicide crimes from being sentenced to life without parole.

Answer to Question 2

Maryland v. Brady
