	US Dept of State - Nairobi Embassy Bomber Given Life Sentence
		New York -- A terrorist convicted of murdering 213 Americans and Kenyans was spared the death sentence and given life in prison without the possibility of release June 12 by the same jury that had found him guilty two weeks earlier of bombing the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in August 1998.
		We understand that the consequence of this is that Al-'Owhali will be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of release," the foreperson told Judge Leonard Sand.
		Susan Bartley, whose husband and son were killed, said that the sentencing "was not what we hoped for.

	Life Sentence Prisoners in Scotland - Chapter 1 The historical use of Life Sentences (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In this report life sentence prisoners are considered separately under the headings of ‘discretionary life’ and ‘mandatory life’ sentences, ‘discretionary life being the statutory term introduced under the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993 to distinguish life prisoners sentenced by the court to life from those whose life sentence is fixed by law.
		In the case of mandatory life sentence prisoners the Secretary of State retains responsibility for determining the length of the minimum period to be served and for determining the point of release.
		A life sentence is mandatory in the case of anyone over the age of 18 who is convicted of murder and the trial judge has no discretion to vary the sentence according to the individual circumstances of the case.

	LIFE SENTENCE AVAILABLE (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The defendant argued that because he committed other crimes that if sentenced consecutively would constitute a "real life" sentence, that the availability of those sentences should be considered mitigating.
		The Court determined that this is not a mitigator, although it may be appropriate to consider as an alternate sentence in the proper case.
		The Court noted that the possibility of a life sentence is a sentencing option, not a mitigating circumstance.

	Why Jonathan Pollard Got Life - Middle East Quarterly
		Life imprisonment is apparently the harshest punishment ever meted out to someone found guilty of spying during peace time.
		Secondly, Pollard was sentenced to life in prison despite the fact that he was never accused of delivering classified information to an enemy of the United States.
		As the first sentence of the VIS makes clear, this document was submitted prior to the submission of the government's classified in camera damage assessment affidavit, and was intended only to provide a summary of the more detailed submission to come.

	Comparative Sentences
		The following tables indicate how grossly disproportionate Pollard's life sentence is when compared to the sentences of others who spied for allied nations.
		Pollard's life sentence is also disproportionate even when compared to the sentences of those who committed far more serious offences by spying for enemy nations.
		This chart shows that Pollard's life sentence is far harsher than most of the sentences received by those who spied for enemies, and thereby committed much more serious offences and treason.

		She then managed to escape and hide in the bush "like a rabbit" for more than five hours on the moonlit night as Murdoch searched for her with his dog and a torch, sometimes coming within a few feet of her before giving up.

		In Early 2002 Jackie Woodward was asked by Circuit Judge Trawick to assist a defendant serving a life sentence for an armed robbery in a motion for post conviction relief the defendant had filed pro se (on his own behalf without a lawyer).
		The Defendant went to trial with a lawyer who clearly was not prepared, and was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
		After working on the case for over a year, conducting an exhaustive investigation of the facts and all court hearings, Jackie received permission from Judge Trawick to file a new motion for post conviction relief (rather than appealing the motion the Defendant did) raising the new points that she had found during her investigation.

		He was given a life sentence for the murder of Canley Vale chemist, Emad Youssef, and a total maximum sentence of 36 years in jail for the other crimes.
		The Court of Criminal Appeal today partly upheld his application for the sentences to be reduced, finding the murder of Mr Youssef was not in the worst case category and therefore did not deserve a life sentence.
		It has instead imposed a maximum term of 28 years in jail, but that sentence will not start until 2022, meaning Aslett will not be eligible for parole before 2044, when he is 73-years-old.

		In the following sentence, there are actually three sentences thrown together, the subject of the first being voices, the subject of the second being we, the subject of the third being there (a kind of placeholder for a subject).
		Sentences which include non-restrictive relative clauses contain two independent statements, one of which can be dropped without harm to the main clause.
		When the paragraph is not the first in a section, the first sentence should also establish a relationship with the preceding paragraph, perhaps helping to draw what was said in the preceding paragraph together as it establishes the ground for what is about to be discussed.

	Isn't one life sentence enough? - By Daniel Engber - Slate Magazine
		Under Kansas law, the standard life sentence is "15 to life," meaning the offender gets his first parole hearing after 15 years.
		Because the crime was committed in "an especially heinous, atrocious or cruel manner," the minimum duration of that life sentence is 40 years.
		In cases where the accumulation of life sentences has no practical effect—for example, in states where life sentences don't include the possibility for parole—courts assign multiple life terms for a few reasons.
