JOHNSON, C.J.

In State v. Tate, 2012-2763 (La.11/5/13), 130 So.3d 829, this court held that Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. -, 132 S.Ct. 2455, 183 L.Ed.2d 407 (2012), does not retroactively apply to juvenile offenders whose life sentences were handed down before the Supreme Court issued its opinion. In my view, Miller announced a new rule of criminal procedure that is substantive, and consequently should apply retroactively.
