  Speaker 2: gunman who shot and killed ten black people at a Buffalo,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: New York grocery store argued that their client should not

  Speaker 3: Since the two thousand and five Supreme Court decision declaring
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: that the death penalty for those under the age of
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: eighteen was unconstitutional, Peyton Gendron's attorneys claimed the science of
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: brain development has advanced. They reference more recent studies suggesting

  Speaker 3: indictment should be dismissed, raising concerns about the validity of
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: the hate crime statute in whether Congress was within its

• 3:13
  Speaker 3: customers and injuring three staff members. Attorneys for Gendrin contend
