A 29-year-old father who butchered his wife in a jealous rage and then hacked to death his two, slumbering toddler daughters was sentenced to 45 years in state prison on Friday, WPIX-TV reported.
Before sentencing Miguel Mejia-Ramos, Queens Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Holder delivered an epic tongue-lashing against the killer.
“It is truly difficult to find words to describe how sickened people are in this courtroom at the sight of you,” Holder said, saying what he did repulses even the most hardened of criminals.
Calling him a “vile and despicable man,” the justice, seething with outrage, said the convicted killer was lucky the death sentence can no longer be imposed in New York. "I truly believe that the person who invented the electric chair or the gas chamber most certainly had you in mind when they designed it,” he said.

45 years???
Yea I know. So he gets out when he’s 74? Yea right. He’ll be out before then.
He will be eligible for parole in 15 years.
Even in a non-death penalty state like NY, why would the sentence not be life without any possibility of parole for such a heinous murder?
What is it with central/South Americans and the knives and machetes?
Unbelievable.
According to another article, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter as part of a plea deal. That would explain the shorter sentence.
But why was he offered a plea deal?
But if we're all lucky, another inmate or two will take care of the problem.
45 years seems like the ticket!
LONG, LONG before then. If luck has anything to do with it, the other inmates will take him out. There really is honor among thieves. Even the other criminals don't like what he did.
Free room and board for the next 45 years but he will be out in 10 years ready to do this all over again. When he is released he should be required to live as a neighbor of those people that voted to eliminate the death penalty.
Makes the judge’s words, no matter how sincerely delivered, hollow beyond words.
Some bimbo will marry him while he is still in jail and after using her conjugal rights give him more children.

“Holder sentenced Mejia-Ramos – who pleaded guilty to three counts of manslaughter in October — to the 25-year max for Garcia’s death, as well as 20 years each for killing the two little girls. Only one of the 20-year terms runs concurrently.”
Don’t know why only one runs concurrently. Looks like NY law gives slaps on the wrists.
I think we’ll read one day that he died in his cell, or was killed by other inmates. I will be surprised if he completes his sentence and walks the streets again.
Can any liberal RAT defend why this guy should not be put to death?
And he'll get amnesty by Christmas.

Many inmates have a better sense of justice than the courts.
