Strap him to a missile and send him to France...
The jury has to follow the law and the court's jury instructions. We are a nation of laws right? The problem is not the jury, the problem is that this was not heard in the right format, should have never entered our court system.
Fox is reporting that France will try to extradite him to serve out his sentence in France--unverified, but reported.
Come on people, stop sniffing the white-out! This is a LAWYER, a FRENCH LAWYER, on retainer to whomever is paying the bills. He has no reason to not be spouting off but just like his brethren here in the USofA, he is a hired gunfighter who can try but has no certainty about the outcome.
Yes, if France got him [how?] I'd have minuscule confidence that he would serve a life sentence there. Generally, this kind of prisoner reparations takes place when both countries agree that it would be advantageous to both. In this kind of high-profile case, there is almost no chance - can anyone cite an example of such in recent history?
For me, I kind of like the sentence so long as IT MEANS LIFE IN PRISON. From what I am hearing, he is getting 23 hours in a single cell 60 feet underground with a b/w TV carrying 3 channels one of which is an anger-management course. There will be an appeals process but nothing like the series that comes with a death penalty that would take 10 years minimum.
Here's verification, it's in this story, buried in the middle of it.
A chamber pot would not rhyme, but more fitting..
Who gets the first interview. Larry King, Baba Wawa, the perky one?
You'd be surprised what big babies convicted felons are. When they'd get locked up in special housing for some disciplinary problem, they'd had their buddies call their mother and their mother would call the prison complaining that her little boy was being picked on. Wah! Big tough guys who obviously couldn't handle doing the time.
We need to bring back public hangings in the town square, although I would have preferred to have seen this animal skinned alive with rusty pliers during prime time.
Then maybe a ceremonial burial with the offal of a hundred pork slaughterhouses poured on the writhing remains.
Aaah, how nice. Now he can hope for, and mama can work for, his extradition to France, where they will surely release him, or the local Islamo-radicals will surely riot till they do. And then he can become a sort of celebrity or hero afterall, by having 'beaten' the US system and returned to freedom in France. Well, the French deserve him, if it comes to that.
