Answer:

Graham v. Florida

Step-by-step explanation:

The Roper decision ended the practice of capital punishment for minors, leaving life without parole as the most severe punishment permissible for crimes committed by those under the age of 18. In Graham v. Florida, the Supreme Court outlawed the use of life without parole for young people who had not been found guilty of murder.
