If a juvenile commits the crime of murder at age 15, the Supreme Court has ruled that the person cannot be given the death penalty

If a juvenile commits the crime of murder at age 15, the Supreme Court has ruled that the person cannot be given the death penalty and only in rare circumstances, can the person be given life without parole. (If the sentence of life without parole was decided before the court decision, there is a right for the juvenile to have another sentencing hearing.) The murder was especially cruel but the defendant has completed several educational programs and says he is a different person. The prison records show he is a model prisoner. Would you allow for the possibility of parole? Would the victims' family's input factor into your decision?
