that they would take the death penalty off the table in exchange for the guilty plea and (of course) saving the expense of a trial.

Yes, I know we don't put people in below ground dark cells with leg irons, but I would think some prisons have basements and that is where I hope he would land -- in a basement cell.

I just discussing what I think should happen to they guy but I am sure he could not be denied the ability to go out for ten years either. It is just what I think the guy deserves to have happen to him.
