When Ronald Salazar's mother and father left their native El Salvador to come to the United States, they decided that their son was too young to make the journey. So, they left him behind. For the next twelve years, Salazar was raised by grandparents who abused him, living in dire poverty and running with street gangs. By the time he finally joined his parents in Miami, they had three other daughters and seemingly little affection for the long-lost "black sheep" of the family. Salazar responded by acting violently. In 2005, Salazar killed his eleven-year-old sister, Marina, strangling and raping her before slitting her throat. He was convicted of first-degree murder and, under Florida law, given an automatic sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. In 2012, the U.S.
Supreme Court banned mandatory life sentences without parole for juvenile murderers. Following a new hearing, Judge Venzer reduced Salazar's sentence to forty years in prison. In Miller v. Alabama, the U.S. Supreme Court: A. banned laws in twenty-eight states that made life-without-parole sentences mandatory for juveniles convicted of murder. B. banned laws that allow for life-without-parole sentences for juveniles. C. required that all juvenile murderers be sentenced to life without parole. D. required that all juvenile murderers be incarcerated until they are twenty-one.
