Alabama, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to automatically sentence individuals to life without the possibility of parole for a crime committed before their 18th birthday. A defense attorney has numerous strategic decisions to make when a defendant will be resentenced pursuant to Miller, such as whether to retain a mental health expert. Dr. Antoinette Kavanaugh explains the benefits of a forensically trained mental health expert, and she offers pointers to help prepare the clinician, defendant, and defendant’s family for the clinician’s evaluation.
