GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (AP) - A man sentenced to life in prison for a murder committed when he was 16 has been handed the same prison term.
Ottawa County Circuit Court Judge Jon Hulsing resentenced 38-year-old Juan Carlos Nunez to life in prison without the possibility of parole Wednesday.
Nunez was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after murdering 22-year-old restaurant worker Scott Anderson during a 1997 robbery, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that mandatory life sentences for juvenile offenders are unconstitutional.
The Holland Sentinel reports Nunez is expected to appeal the decision.
