I have no problem with life imprisonment if there is the slightest doubt about a first degree murder conviction. But that's not the case here. The guy was guilty. There are also reports that he smiled arrogantly at the victim's family right before they gave him the first set of drugs. He got what he deserved.

It should come as no shock that I agree with you. My politics are slightly to the right of Attila the Hun. He was a nice guy but too soft on crime {g}. Let's see how many (liberals) don't take this statement the way that I meant it....
