Answer 1

Miller v. Alabama found that minors could not be sentenced to mandatory life without parole.

Step-by-step explanation:

The case that found that minors could not be sentenced to mandatory life without parole is Miller v. Alabama. In this case, the United States Supreme Court held that mandatory sentences of life without parole for juveniles are unconstitutional because they violate the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. The Court ruled that juvenile offenders must be given a chance to demonstrate their capacity for rehabilitation and potential for change.
