People v. Eliason

Defendant appeals as of right his convictions for first-degree premeditated murder, MCL 750.316(l)(a), and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, MCL 750.227b(l). Defendant, who was 14 years old at the time he committed these crimes, was sentenced to mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole for his first-degree murder conviction and two years’ imprisonment for his felony-firearm conviction. We affirm defendant’s convictions but remand for resentencing on his first-degree premeditated murder conviction in accordance with this opinion.
