Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they caught the guy and he's being punished for what he did, but does it make sense to put him in prison for the rest of his life (and then some). Wouldn't it be cheaper for the taxpayers to just stand him in front of a firing line or find a rope and tall tree? It just doesn't make sense to me why they'd even bother coming up with a number that high in the first place. With any luck, they'll put him in a cell with someone who'll take care of it for us
. Oh well...just wanted to rant a little bit.
