Sixpence: I believe he is in w/o parole. I believe there is a sentence that makes this automatic, something like life and a day.

A law can change, a governor or a president could pardon him under pressure from some liberal group, etc.

Come to think of it, a person who will be occupying Lee Malvo's body in 30 years will not be Lee Malvo, with very vague recollections of what he's done and probably not being able to imagine how ge did it - so much a character could change.

I would understand if the purpose of the punishment was the original one - making restutution to the victims. If he was made to work in order to compensate them as much as possible - there would be rationale for keeping him alive.
But it's not the case.

the victim families were extremely disappointed by the jury's verdict as was I

there isn't any rehabilitation for this one (would you hire him? can you say postal?), why waste the tax payers dollars

and the needle is way too easy for scum like these two - time to fire up ole sparky and let them feel the grim reaper coming for thier souls...

Eagler,

I think sending him to Utah and let him stand (or sit) in front of a firing squad. It's more apropriate IMO.

I disagree with jailing him for life... granted, it may allow him to stew for 30+years but its expensive and makes a mockery of the death penalty. Finish it now, bring some closure to the many families that were affected by these two and execute them both.

Then again, where else but in America can you shoot the President of a country and push the court for unsupervised visits with your parents?

He's still got two trials to go. One of them could nail him.
