Well, so far there is just going to be an appeal; but I read this and thought back to the reports of the crime. It was truly horrific, and IMO the guy should really be locked up without any thought of parole, ever. Hopefully that will be the case.
Life imprisonment should mean exactly that - life. The judge at the time said as much, and it amazes me that there should be any decision at such an early stage on whether he should be eligible for parole in the future.
