 The Rhode Island Supreme Court ruled in favor of the so-called Mario's Law that grants parole consideration for anyone who has served more than 20 years in prison for a crime committed in their youth. State authorities had insisted that the law did not apply to people serving multiple sentences, like 40-year-old Mario Monteiro, for whom the law is named. The Rhode Island ACLU took up his case, and he will be considered for parole. Monteiro was convicted of a fatal shooting while in his teens.
