#SCOTUS says that in the habeas context, a "geriatric release" program does not necessarily violate Graham's bar on JLWOP for non-homicide. -
That decision comes in a per curiam decision reversing a habeas grant for Dennis LeBlanc, convicted for raping a woman when he was 16.

Ginsburg concurred in the LeBlanc decision "on the understanding" that Virginia Sup Ct did place limits on denial of parole for such people.
