A Hamilton County court must reconsider the life-without-parole sentence of Springdale’s Eric Long, convicted of murdering two men in 2009, when he was 17.

In a 24-page decision, the Ohio Supreme Court found that when juveniles are convicted of murder and the potential sentence is life in prison without the possibility of parole, judges must consider the juvenile’s age as a factor in that sentencing.

The Ohio Supreme Court sent the case back in a 5-2 ruling handed down Wednesday. Republican justices Sharon Kennedy and Terrence O’Donnell dissented.
