Stateside’s conversation with Antonio Espree, former juvenile lifer and Arizona State University student.
Some 11,500 new students just began classes this fall at Arizona State University.
For one of those students, it's something he once never dreamed would happen.
That's because Antonio Espree is one of Michigan's 363 juvenile lifers. Thirty years ago, when he was 16, Espree was arrested for killing a man. When he was 17, he was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.
But thanks to a pair of U.S. Supreme Court rulings that declared mandatory life-without-parole sentences for teens under 18 unconstitutional, Antonio Espree was released this past spring, and he is now a student at Arizona State.
