472 years is retarded and in no way makes the punishment worse. It should just be life with weakly waterboarding sessions.

It should be life plus the ball-beating that Bond receives in Casino Royale with a knotted rope.

I would want them dead too, but death penalty actually ends up costing more in the end than even full life in prison, due to all the years of appeals, etc.

death penalty actually ends up costing more
That is the trotted out claim by those against the death penalty. I have not seen or run the numbers myself but I won't take their calculation on faith. And if true, it is a solvable problem. There is no law of nature that says that the cost of a death penalty case are higher than the cost of housing and feeding and clothing and SECURING them til death by natural causes.

Death penalty. It needs to be changed so that they just execute them. They clearly proved guilt. That part is over.

He's just the pawn. The psychopaths would never set up a precedent for death.

Well, if he maintains good behaviour he can get out in 236 yrs.

One day she'll be sentenced to eternity in burning sulfur, don't you worry.

This is directly related to child sex trafficking and not the elite, but it's relevant to PG as this is a record-breaking sentence for human trafficking. The man, who was part of a group sexually trafficking children, was charged today with a long, long list of crimes related to child sexually abusive activity, and he was sentenced to 472 years in prison.

Makes sense - when you put up shop you will certainly have to deal with others who're already in the business (and who might not like what you are up to). In Italy, the Nigerian mafia successfully tried to rival the old Italian mafia factions (trafficking women and possibly children from Africa to Italy).
They are said to have been accepted by the old mafia in certain areas, but have to give them their share.
So you need someone who 'protects' you and approves of what you're doing higher up.

Yes! I think the ones that are of measurable size have to be connected in some way. They are part of the rat lines.
