Nice long minimum term tariff, some small comfort for Dorothy’s loved ones.

Very small comfort. I don't know how you'd ever get past a relative dying in such a horrific way. But yes, at least he didn't get some wishy-washy sentence for this abhorrent crime.

I agree, I don’t think you ever get over something as horrific as this, I’m just glad, like you, that he didn’t get a snowflake Judge sentencing him.
