Henry Montgomery, Sentenced to Life Term at 17, Leaves Angola Prison on Parole
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Louisiana, 75-year-old Henry Montgomery walked out of Angola prison
on Wednesday, winning parole nearly 58 years after he was sentenced to
life in prison for a crime he committed as a teenager. Montgomery's case
was central to a Supreme Court ruling that extended the possibility of
parole to hundreds of people with life sentences for juvenile crimes.
