I still don’t get it. Are there ANY juveniles anywhere serving life sentences for non-homicides?

Apparently, there's a bunch in Florida.
The one who brought this case was (he was serving life without parole for violating probation after a conviction for burglary).
Probably for rape, including child rape.
The chance that a serious criminal will ever rehabilitated is less than one in three. For sex-crimes, it is about one in 20. That means that, in general, criminals, even young thugs do not use a chance to “demonstrate growth and maturity” in any good way. They just become more mature and stronger criminals.
Justice Kennedy should be put on a desert island with some of those people, maybe as part of a “Survivor” TV special. I know that I would watch!
what about juvenile sex offenders? where do they fit in to the recent decisions.
