Anyone Planning on Watching POV Tonight?

Tonight's show will focus on the issue of minors being sentenced to life in prison. Even though, a few years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the practice unconstitutional minors who are currently in prison have to go before judges to ask to be released.

One of the stories tonight is about a young man who was sentenced to life after a series armed robberies. At the time of his sentencing he was 14 or 15 years old. He has spent about eleven years of his sentence and by all accounts has changed his life for the better. The only thing standing between him and freedom is a judge.
