How much gets knocked off for good behavior?

#1 Post by SpacemanSpiff » Fri Aug 28, 2015 11:02 am

James Holmes, the Colorado theater shooter, gets 12 life sentences, plus an additional 3318 years for the other charges.

I assume none of this is concurrent.

Best line is from the judge at the end. "Sheriff, get the defendant out of my courtroom, please."

The additional years are consecutive to the life sentences. --Bob

If he's a good boy, I'd be O.K. with knocking 500-600 years off.

No, it will be four life sentences and 1106 years. :twisted:

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.
