. . . why bother with a timed sentence at all? Why not just sentence him to life? Will they let him out when he's 85 and can't harm anyone? Would the point of that make people feel better about themselves, make them think they're civilized or something like that? I don't get it.

From what I can tell they do it that way to impose a minimum sentence without parole. Joel - 26/08/2012 01:28:21 AM 735 Views
Yes, very foreign frame of reference. Palatine - 26/08/2012 04:36:19 PM 653 Views

It would be an understatement to say I have mixed feelings about this. Joel - 26/08/2012 12:39:19 AM 720 Views
For those who are confused about the premise of the Norwegian justice system Camilla - 26/08/2012 09:25:18 AM 654 Views
