I've been thinking much the same thing. What a waste of his life. I understand that little brothers often adore their older brothers, but he completely threw his life away and killed several people for no good reason. No good reason at all.

One thing though, he might still be able to get married. Don't those guys always attract at least a few marriage proposals in prison?
