LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- A resentencing hearing has been set for an Arkansas man sentenced to life without parole as a teenager.
Kuntrell Jackson was just 14 when he was convicted on a capital murder charge as an accomplice during a deadly convenience store robbery in 1999.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year it is unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to mandatory life without parole.
Jackson's resentencing hearing is scheduled for April.
