Yes.

And as for consuming online "stuff", Utah is number one as well. How else are they going to get it?

Iceland is an interesting country. I had a client from Iceland whose son stabbed a man 45 times after a night of partying. He was charged and convicted of murder. His family was devastated because his son was sentenced to 2 years in prison. I guess in Iceland that is considered cruel and unusual punishment. They don't have many murders but he claimed the average sentence is less than 1 year.

They have no death penalty or life sentences.

I think it helps when nearly everyone is related as is the case with iceland. In other words, the populace is not very diverse; all of the same tribe so to speak. Visiting Iceland is on my bucket list.

Judge Michael J. Russo of Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court sentenced him to life in prison without possibility of parole, and 1,000 years.

That sounds about right.

That sounds about right.

Unrelated, but why does it seem like when I read this "life in prison without possibility of parole, and 1,000 years" I feel like he'll probably serve 27 years and then be released. Is that misunderstanding of the criminal system or is my assumption right?

His prison terms are consecutive, so even if he has "good behavior" for each sentence, he has another sentence queued up, ready and waiting. There's no way he will get a discount factor large enough to chew through 100 or so sentences.

If he had committed his crimes in Norway, the max he could get is 21 years. Plus he'd be living in a three cell suite with amenities.

Convicted of killing 77 people in a horrific bombing and shooting attack in July last year, the Norwegian extremist Anders Behring Breivik was sentenced on Friday to 21 years in prison — fewer than four months per victim — ending a case that thoroughly tested this gentle country’s collective commitment to values like tolerance, nonviolence and merciful justice.

Anders Behring Breivik was taken to Ila Prison, outside Oslo, on Friday after his sentencing. Mr. Breivik, lawyers say, will live in a prison outside Oslo in a three-cell suite of rooms equipped with exercise equipment, a television and a laptop, albeit one without Internet access. If he is not considered a threat after serving his sentence, the maximum available under Norwegian law, he will be eligible for release in 2033, at the age of 53.

I don't know, but the whole 1,000 year sentence doesn't make me feel any better than if he just got life without the possbility of ever getting out, ever, for any reason. I don't care what his accommodations are, so long as they are humane and he's never getting out. Yes, that is better than he gave those girls, but no accomodations, good or bad, for this scumbag will change history. I think Norway is too lenient, but 1,000 years? That's ridiculous. Is that what it takes to ensure he never gets out? That points to a problem with our system. Hell, if you're going to throw on an extra 1,000 years, why not make it 10,000 or maybe a cool 1,000,000.

WTF? This is Exhibit A that you can't process anything with making some kind of negative connection with the LDS church.

What do you think "life in prison without the possibility of parole" means?

[lambdacoug]

What do you think "life in prison without the possibility of parole" means?

I don't know, but apparently it doesn't mean as much as "life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 1,000 years".

[Donuthole]

Of course it doesn't. Aren't you an engineer?
