Colorado Theater Shooter James Holmes was sentenced yesterday

Holmes was sentenced to 12 life terms for each of the people he killed. He also received 3,318 years for the 70 wounded.
I know our justice system has flaws but there has got to be a better way to handle mass murderers than to give them basically 55+ life sentences.
Side note: One jury member held out on the death penalty so it wasn't an option.
Here's the link

What a sentenseless tragedy.

Did you have a solution in mind other than the death penalty?

Great so he get's 3 hot's and a cot for the rest of his life. Along with free healthcare and cable.
Here's to hoping the prison justice system will succeed where the civilian justice system failed.

Agree but why give anyone a 3,300 year sentence? That's just retarded. The judge should say: lock this motherfricker up and throw away the key & if you don't throw away the key I'll lock your arse up.

Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to feed and care for him for the remainder of his life doesn't seem fit for a monster of this caliber

What are you suggesting? Death penalty was an option, but the jury rejected it. What other option did you want? Counseling?

Yikes. I bet he won't do that again.

Will he be in protective custody? I hope not.

It's a combination of multiple sentences. Let's say he appeals one and it gets overturned, there are still multiple other ones in place ensuring he stays in prison for the remainder of his life.

Ad Seg and protective custody mean little in prison if the right people want to get to you. Or wrong people as it were. So there's hope.

3318 years, lol.

Good I hope they are waiting for him like this.

I hope the vehicle transporting him "breaks down" along the way and the attending officers loudly ask the mob assembled to "look after him" while they go try to find a mechanic

Oh, I dunno. I was just making fun of the fact the OP wrote "sentensed" in his subject line...
Eta: Fixed now.

I know why it's done and how it's calculated but the defense said yesterday they weren't appealing.
