• holding that a discretionary life sentence for second degree murder did not violate Miller
• holding in a postconviction proceeding that because second-degree murder with a firearm is a life felony punishable by life or by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life, juvenile’s life sentence was not unconstitutional under Miller
• “[Because the statute under which Starks was sentenced did not mandate a life sentence but provided the trial court with a choice of a life sentence or a sentence of a term of years, Starks was not sentenced under a sentencing scheme condemned in Miller”
