Pedophiles are protected in Prison; He will live in Pod with other offenders.
Earl you are absolutely right. That paperwork is literally a death sentence for him with those type of charges. I have done a little bit of time and being locked up in a small confined area with hundreds of people including C.Os who are going to hate you forever is going to be torture if he even makes it 5yrs. Death is an easy escape for guys like this. Living would be a worse punishment….ijs
If he survives a few years he will be lucky, they’re going to be checking his paperwork and as soon as he makes a mistake he will be gone.
Stupid crap from the court system !!! Nobody lives out two life sentences that ridiculous!!! I say burn and be done !!!!
Death sentences appeals can cost in the $millions. Why life sentences is cheaper to house.
@Patricia, he can’t get out. His sentences are “consecutive”, not concurrent, so he has to “finish” 9 life sentences before anything could happen. But yea, he should fry in the electric chair or take the needle
@NavyDave “This is one of those types of crime that should have a death penalty”
@Patricia McNamara “I am not one for the death penalty”
Actually, our Govenor did sign into law the death penalty for this type of crime. I don’t know when it will take effect but here is a link to those new laws.

I am not one for the death penalty, but if someone can be found guilty of a crime enough to get
consecutive life sentences such and this guy did Why waste the tax payers money? Will it be because if he happens to survive in jail long enough he may be up for parole? I truly believe in Karama. He will get what is coming to him. Here as well as in Hell.
You will be someone’s little girlfriend in prison…. for a long time
This is one of those types of crime that should have a death penalty. There’s no reason in the world to keep this trash alive and breathing.
Look…. Larry’s all tucked away now… .
Good.
