Juvenile offenders and district attorneys; revise provisions related to.

This Mississippi bill updates sentencing rules for juvenile offenders convicted of murder to comply with U.S. Supreme Court rulings that prohibit the death penalty for those under eighteen. It establishes that juveniles convicted of first-degree or capital murder after July 1, 2024, can only be sentenced to life imprisonment or a specific term of years, removing the option of the death penalty for this age group. The legislation also clarifies procedures for recusal by attorneys during grand jury selection to ensure fair impaneling. Additionally, the bill mandates that death penalty sentencing proceedings must explicitly confirm the defendant was at least eighteen years old at the time of the crime.
