in Jackson, the Mississippi Supreme Court dismissed the death sentence of Ronald Chris Foster and ordered the Lowndes County Circuit Court to re-sentence him to life in prison without parole.
Foster was 1 of 5 Mississippi death row inmates saved from lethal injection after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it's unconstitutional to execute those who committed capital offenses when they were younger than 18.
Foster was 17 when he killed convenience store worker George Shelton in 1989 during a robbery.
