It's a way to make sure the guy gets life in prison without parole for crimes that don't allow the actual sentence of LWOP. And I'm assuming there were quite a few crimes in that little spree to add up to such a big number. It's within the judge's discretion, and it happens. What do you think is so wrong about it? What were the crimes involved?
-- A man convicted in the execution-style killings of three students in New Jersey nearly three years ago was sentenced Thursday to three consecutive life sentences, the Essex County prosecutor's office said.
Rodolfo Godinez was the first person to stand trial in connection with the Newark murders. He got a 20-year sentence in addition to the life sentences.
Under New Jersey laws, Godinez would become eligible for parole after serving 216 years in prison, the prosecutor's office said.

Judge Sends Rapist to Prison for 30,000 Years
December 23, 1994|From Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY A judge who said he was weary of criminals serving only a portion of their time sentenced a man convicted of raping children to 30,000 years in prison.
The jury that convicted Charles Scott Robinson on Dec. 14 had recommended 5,000 years in prison for each of the six counts against him. Jurors, who couldn't sentence him to life without parole, said they wanted Robinson behind bars for good.
so he has to wait 70 years for parole for each of the life sentences.
Sounds fair.
