A San Marcos man sentenced on child sexual abuse charges Monday received double life sentences, in addition to more than 1,000 years in prison. Robert Benjamin Franks, 39, was convicted on multiple counts after harming two children, one of whom was a family member, over a number of years... The jury deliberated for about an hour Monday before returning a guilty verdict on all 17 counts. The punishment deliberations lasted a little more than two hours... The two continuous sexual abuse charges each had a life sentence. Each of the nine counts of aggravated sexual assault had 99-year sentences, and each of the six counts of indecency with a child had 20 year sentences. Franks is also supposed to pay a $93,000 fine.

A life sentence in TX is 45 years. Knock off time already served and good time. Then the fact that you only have to serve 1/3rd your time due to crowded prisons. Well, 45 years could get him back on the streets in no time. They learned this when the death penalty was banned in the 70s. Killers on death row were out killing again.

If this is San Marcos, TX - college town with lots of libtards and social justice wienies running around. Austin for Hispanics.
