😏 Life… That fool already got away with it. He lived his life. Prison to him now is just a retirement home.

[ncjay]

Sentencing an old man to prison isn't much of a punishment. I'd sentence him to pick up trash on the side of the road in January and February in Minnesota.

[Jackietreehorn-ze]

"No chance of parole." The guy is 126 years old. What's he care?

[truthjustice]

So he basically has like what
10 more days ?

[STHFGDBY]

He should be more concerned about his soul than his prison sentence.

[TheSpazzQueen]

Is it me or at this point he’s already lived the better part of “life” as a free man????

[bjmoule]

that's not the only person he killed. his wife disappeared and he killed and chopped up a neighbor. he's already lived his best life so this is no sentence but a nursing home

[LooseConnection]

2 decades is what we call swift justice in the U.S. court system

[johnedwardjones]

To bad he wasn't held accountable many years ago. He played the system. He's disgusting.

[mdsaxc]

This only happened because he basically gave the justice system the middle finger in that hbo special

[mariosanchez-sjyv]

2 days left. What a court circus. Poor guy

[lucusrose]

Why do they say "life in prison"? When there is no chance of parole, isn't it really "death in prison"?

[alloounou]

Finally convicting him of a crime 20 years ago? Why did it take so long? What are the chances that this conviction is true? After so long, how can we be certain details weren't forgotten, removed, or modified?

[janetcrane]

Ya. When he said into a microphone that he killed her.

[macrograms]

so he killed someone, got away with it and spends the last five minutes in prison. "justice" ....

[jkbell]

This is a testament to how well the justice system works in this country. What a joke. Life imprisonment at 78? He looks like he’s going to keel over in the courtroom.

[texasaggie]

Never heard of him. I have heard of the clintons and they deserve jail time

[josephrichter]

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets pardoned and made a school teacher

[wordherb]

Life in prison looking like a two month sentence for this guy dude seems like he’s halfway in the grave already

[evangorski]

Damn, they only gave him 20 minutes???
