With good behavior can he get an early out after serving only 433 years?

[xmm0]

And with good ACLU he could get out tomorrow....

[R. Scott]

He’ll have a better chance of getting out early in a pine box.

[goldstategop]

Well... if he's immortal he can qualify for early parole. Won't mean a thing if he's six feet under.

My money is on the exit via pine box.

[goldstategop]

I noticed his lawyer trotted out those two beloved theories used by liberals to defend their poster child fiends: 1) he was abused as a child and 2) if he's a monster, its society's fault. Oh, its never his fault. Evil stares liberals right in the face and they're totally oblivious to the reality of it!

...he will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.

Who writes this crap?

[goldstategop]

When he gets to the denture-wearing stage, they'll release him to save money and for reasons of compassion. After all what can an 80 year old sociopath do? That's why people are skeptical of the "life in prison" tag. You'd need to check up on the truth in sentencing laws to find out how much time this creep will actually serve.

I hope that's how he spends his next 1300 years: looking over his shoulder.

This guy admitted he was a monster. The things he did were horrendous and not acceptable in civilized society. Be that as it may, I'm sure he didnt get this way by watching Sesame Street and riding his bike everyday, or being treated like a human being. I bet his parents are monsters too!

Maybe - maybe not. Some people take a dark journey on their own. Like you said he is damaged goods now.

[R. Scott]

Fortunately those excuses are wearing thin with the general public.

Brent J. Brents was sentenced to more than 1,300 years in prison Wednesday for crimes a judge said showed "unspeakable cruelty and malignance."

Such a sentence is inhuman and probably unconstitutional. DEATH BY OLD AGE! (With 3 squares a day, cable tv, free medical care, free housing). The mind boggles at such a draconian sentence!

[micho]

I don't view these horrendous stories as an "excuse". They are just what these people went through in their pitiful lives. I'm not condoning what these truly pathetic, sick individuals did, I'm just thinking about how a person ends up doing these horrible, degrading things.

Maybe if I had been treated like an animal, I might respond in kind too. I don't know and will never know because I was brought up with love and respect.

A little fashion tip: If you want to convince people that you are not really an evil monster, SHAVE THE GOATEE!

[kennedy]

He repeated his claim that he had been sexually and emotionally abused as a child, something that his defense attorney, Carrie Thompson, reiterated in court Wednesday. The sexual abuse continued until Brents was sent to juvenile detention at the age of 12 for rape, Thompson said.

If my dog got rabies I would feel really bad about it. I wouldn't blame my dog. Regardless, I would still take it outside and shoot it.

It really doesn't matter what happened in his childhood that he says caused him to become a rabid wild animal predator. The fact is that he is a rabid wild animal predator and should be treated accordingly.

[ican'tbelieveit]

Damaged goods now? This guy never should have gotten back on the streets from his first conviction. He is another example of a convicted scumbag getting out to repeat his crimes.

[ican'tbelieveit]

I agree. If we are convinced, beyond reasonable doubt, that this guy should never, ever, live in society again, then he needs to die. There is no point in prolonging the death sentence, or making it seem more civilized because we aren't going to do the killing; we are going to let the time do it.

Brent J Brents

That mother of his must have had some imagination could only come up with his last name for a first name
