I'd almost say execute the fucker & be done w\ it. But then there'd be assloads of appeals & further legal shyte. That'd just cost more.

While I don't really have any sympathy for the guy, how the hell do murderers get off with less time?

Last time I saw a stat on that, it was 7 years on average for murder.

Meanwhile, armed robbers or burglars were doing an average of 10.

There is something very fucked up with that.

Somehow we got the bullshit notion that you can "measure a society by the way it treats its prisoners."

Granted, but I'd take "broke" over "dead" every time the choice is offered.
