I Never Understood…

Why when judges hand down an extremely long sentence, they can’t just say life, without the chance of parole. A case many years ago, yielded a sentence of 6 life terms with a minimum of 250 years that must be served. Wait… what? Did they think this guy was a greenland shark or something, where he would still be around for like 400 years? He is serving 6 life sentences, was the minimum of 250 years, really necessary? Either way you look at it, he was never going to enjoy life outside of prison. Even with the sentences that are over 1,000 years. Just say life without parole. They’re not gonna be around for even 5% of that. I heard they give x amount of years as to avoid any judicial loopholes. What loopholes? They’re serving life sentences. If it’s that easy to find loopholes in the system, then close those loopholes or change the system. Why do we as humans have to make things so goddamn complicating?

In some states a life sentence is 15-20 years.so they can get out
@NinaTina Then how is that a life sentence? A life sentence entails being in prison… for life. Or am I missing something? The only way that would be a “life sentence” is if the person is like 80+ years old already and they let them out because they possess no danger to society. Kind of like what they did with cosby.

@MsAnnThropy The life sentences consecutively would have a minimum amount of time served for each life sentence. A basic life conviction in the United States carries a minimum of 25 years before parole eligibility. 3 life sentences would mean the person wouldn't be eligible for release until 75 years have passed
