If he's convicted of murder then a life sentence is expected. But this is ridiculous and that judge is a horrible bitch. This country is addicted to prison. Nothing at all gained by keeping him locked up when he's in old age. 20 years would've been fine. 30 years even. HIs life would've been ruined. But now our genius government will house him maybe the next 40 or 50 years and will pay for all his ailments as he ages. He'll be 80yrs old and still in prison for setting up a website.

I fricking hate the government.

The article I was talking about indicated he has a life sentence from the first trial. Has that changed?

He did way more than that and you know it. He helped traffic drugs and even sold drugs himself. A life sentence may be harsh but let's not oversimplify what he did for the sake of argument.

I am very surprised at how many posters in this thread feel that this fellow was treated unfairly because he received a life sentence. A lot of you are even griping at the government and/or the judge.

There are many crimes for which life imprisonment is given - not just murder. If you really don't think this fellow's behavior was atrocious and deserving of a life sentence, then you aren't the kind of person that I'd like to know. I won't miss you. If you are just aping everyone else's "outrage" because you think that's cool, then you're just an idiot.
