Totally disagreeing with defense attny. Life or LWOP will do society NO good. Telles would never be able to be a kind, non-criminal, educated, loved KILLER again. MOO.....LWOP.

Replying to my own post. Excuse please. I should have used quotation marks. I mean society will be the beneficiary of RT being sentenced to Life or LWOP because he won't be able to threaten and harm outside prison walls. I support LWOP for this strange, evil man.Totally disagreeing with defense attny. Life or LWOP will do society NO good.

"Just after 4:30 p.m., the jury reached a verdict on the sentencing. Just before 5:00 p.m., the jury handed over its decision. Robert Telles will spend life in prison with eligibility for parole after 20 years."
Agree. It's cheap justice for German.Not surprised by this sentence, which is far too lenient in this case. Life in prison with the possibility of parole is NOT Life in Prison. Also, there's unfortunately the chance that he will get out earlier. Typical.
Really? Why not LWOP? I hope we get to hear from some of the jurors, curious how/why?"Just after 4:30 p.m., the jury reached a verdict on the sentencing. Just before 5:00 p.m., the jury handed over its decision. Robert Telles will spend life in prison with eligibility for parole after 20 years."
I don't understand why the judge doesn't complete sentencing on the same day, and not waste more court time, since it is the jury's remit to decide sentence.
Sounds about right. He's obviously getting preferential treatment from Day 1 due to his former position of power -i .e., being a former politician. Very unfair, but typical.
I know next-to-nothing about what life in prison is really like (I'm not counting TV shows/movies), but my understanding is that someone in a high-profile case like this is probably not in gen pop for long. I.e., it seems like they're typically moved somewhere "safe" so they won't be as much at risk for being assaulted/killed. To me, they should suffer along with all of the other violent criminals in there - but, that's obviously not the case.
Hopefully the family of JG will fight to keep this perp. in prison.
