45. In Maryland he was sentenced to six consecutive life terms

If each of his six consecutive life terms were changed to life with possibility of parole after 20, he would still spend 120 years in prison. His only hope would be to see the sentences changed to run concurrently.

He wasnt shooting people in Jamaica or Antigua. oldsoftie Mar 2019 #23
I'm referring to your assertion that other 17-year olds would think twice maxsolomon Mar 2019 #27
So 17 yr olds in Jamaica & Antigua dont know murdering people is wrong? oldsoftie Mar 2019 #40
I never asserted he didn't know murdering people was wrong. maxsolomon Apr 2019 #61

Thats a joke. The death penalty does do shit except murder others. marble falls Mar 2019 #37
It wasnt a joke to the woman murdered. Fine, move him in next door to you when he's 70. oldsoftie Mar 2019 #41
When you regain your composure, please respond. The fact is that the death penalty does not ... marble falls Mar 2019 #44
A sentence is carried out to punish the offender. oldsoftie Mar 2019 #47

But him being dead prevents him from spreading his bullshit like others do. oldsoftie Mar 2019 #18
Should they all be executed, then? I'm not sure I follow where you're going with this. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #28
IMO, yes, ANY serial or spree killer like that should be executed. IF there is NO doubt of guilt. oldsoftie Mar 2019 #42
What do you make of the fact he was 17 maxsolomon Mar 2019 #11

After all, theres a push from some to lower the voting age to 16. oldsoftie Mar 2019 #43
Fine, lets lower the voting age to 16, and charge 16 year old and up as adults mr_lebowski Mar 2019 #52
I agree with this message. But pick-and-choose is exactly what some are now proposing. oldsoftie Mar 2019 #57
No! The victims are dead forever. He should remain in prison forever... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #6
Do all homicides deserve Life w/o Parole? maxsolomon Mar 2019 #13
Not all. But this one, yes. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #16
You didn't address the SCOTUS ruling question. maxsolomon Mar 2019 #19
He was tried as an adult. I agree with that. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #21
I make of it that he was unconstitutionally sentenced to life w/o parole. maxsolomon Mar 2019 #25
Charming. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #29
There seem to be 4 main purposes to Prison sentences: maxsolomon Mar 2019 #30

You won't explain your position maxsolomon Mar 2019 #33
I don't need to justify or explain anything... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #34
I think there's other reasons for prison sentences Marthe48 Mar 2019 #50

How is life w/o parole to the right of the death penalty? Honeycombe8 Mar 2019 #24
I'd say it's crueler, therefore to the "right". maxsolomon Mar 2019 #26
I agree that LwoP are is crueler. If he wishes to petition for execution, I would support that. LongtimeAZDem Mar 2019 #54
Thats it. I, too, remember well being that age. Knew better than to shoot people. oldsoftie Mar 2019 #20
