[Harmless Teddy Bear]

If he is alive he needs to stay in prison until the person he beat to death returns from the dead.

If he is dead he should be buried or cremated.

"If he is dead he should be buried or cremated."

The judge should say if he died (ever how briefly) he has completed his life sentence. Then schedule him for immediate cremation.

Works for me.
