"Mass. court voids DYS custody based on 'dangerousness'; Justices' ruling to free 12 held"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Mass. court voids DYS custody based on 'dangerousness'; Justices' ruling to free 12 held": Today's edition of The Boston Globe contains an article that begins, "The highest court in Massachusetts struck down a law yesterday that allows the state to keep juvenile offenders who are slated to be released at 18 in custody for three more years if they are believed to be dangerous. The Supreme Judicial Court's ruling that the law is unconstitutional will result in the release of a dozen juvenile offenders whom state officials had kept incarcerated after their 18th birthday."

The Republican of Springfield, Massachusetts reports today that "Juveniles' release after 18 backed."

And The Boston Herald reports that "State may fight Supreme Court ruling that would free juveniles."

You can access yesterday's ruling of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts at this link.
