This is our justice system in which laws needs to be changed. With such a long history of crime, hope all appeals are disapproved, even if he gets religion while in prison. The way our world is being torn up, spice will be legal & then he gets out.
So now the taxpayers funding the prison system have to pay for his living expenses: health care, food, clothing, and security for the rest of his life. Plus all the other thousands of convicted murderers in the prison system today. This does not deter the murder rate in this country.
No possibility of parole? That could change in appeals court or changing laws in the future.
Instead, if there is no possibility of corruption or mistakes in this murder case, the convicted murderer should be summarily executed by the same or similar method that was done to the murder victim.
