Charles Lewis was 17 when he was sentenced to life in prison for shooting and killing an off-duty Detroit police officer during a robbery.
He was resentenced this week after the Supreme Court ruled that teens can’t automatically be sentenced to life terms.
“It’s surreal. It’s mind-blowing,” Lewis said. “To go from last night I was in the hole, sleeping in a cell with nothing in it but a mattress and a blanket and a sheet, and to go from that to standing in the line at McDonald’s is mind-blowing.”
