Not in this case, though. “Without the possibility of parole,” means exactly that. There is no mechanism by which his sentence can be reviewed, save by appeal and even then there’s no hope of reviewing that aspect of the sentence, only the safety of the conviction on the basis of new evidence or, “by reason of insanity,” which has already been rejected. The Parkland shooter will never breathe free air again, and I cannot imagine a worse sentence in America. Death row drags on for many years with the sword of Damocles hanging over your head, but you have special isolation to protect you from the prison population, which this criminal will not get. His fate is sealed unless there is a change in fundamental law in the USA, which is not going to happen because prison populations are tied into America’s economic model too deeply. A massive free labour market for the government to exploit, making everything from licence plates to window glass. That’s an entire 10% of America’s population, btw.

Think about it, people? If this man truly believes, “the death penalty wouldn’t be enough,” then surely life in prison is more punishment? Who thinks that he will not come to regret the loss of his freedom? That he will not want to kill himself at some point? And on many occasions. He will hear about his family, friends and people he knew, getting on with their lives, achieving things, writing books about their experiences of him, saying whatever they wish to about him and having no ability to answer. Dodging rape in the showers and the hatred of child murderers for the rest of his days. No, death would be too easy for someone who caused me or mine such pain and anguish. I’m sure there must be family members of the other victims who would disagree with this man?
