An editorial notes that a recent Wayne State University survey suggested that only 5 percent of Michigan\'s residents support the state's juvenile lifer law. Drawing fire from human rights groups worldwide, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, the law is being challenged by a bill sponsored by state Sen. Liz Brater, D-Ann Arbor, which would provide a chance at parole after serving at least 15 years, for the more than 300 juveniles who have been sentenced to life without parole. The editorial calls the proposed bill reasonable "offering the best hope of bringing Michigan's juvenile law into the 21st Century."
