Why do Judges hand out ridiculous prison sentences?
What I mean is take James Holmes for example. They handed him down a sentence that he could never possibly finish serving?
James Holmes was sentenced too
12 life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole, and an additional 3,318 years.
Why not just say life without parole?
No one has 12 lives, and certainly not 3,318 years and even if I could live that long for 3,318 years I'd commit suicide living in prison that long.
It makes the judge look stupid to give out a sentence like that.
