Reply #42: They committed the ULTIMATE crime. [View All]

Or is that lost on you? They aren't petty shoplifters. They are not even ordinary murderers either. To get Life w/o parole, the murder has to be especially heinous.

In death penalty threads, I often make the argument that I would be willing to trade the death penalty for genuine LIFE sentences. LIFE as in they stay in until they die at 110 years old. Then I follow that by noting that even with the worst crimes, there will always be someone who will plea for mercy for the criminal and will cry that genuine LIFE is just too harsh a penalty.

You have proven me right.
