Don't ever let him out. Make him serve the 167 years, if he lives.

An outcome that fits the crime. Its about time, now why did it take so long?

If a background check was done we would have found a young man with problems before he went to war also.

Well, let's see what advice 'Jason' has for his buddy now.

Same with old folks who shoots bus driver and kidnaps a child and holding him hostage for less than a week... It's not about age...

good - lesson learned- maybe other crimes should have stiffer punishments too - teach these young ones a lesson in life - think of your future before committing all these acts of crime

Drastic times call for drastic measures...good point. Young men these days are out if control.

"good - lesson learned- maybe other crimes should have stiffer punishments too - teach these young ones a lesson in life - think of your future before committing all these acts of crime"

The US already has the highest incarceration rate in the world plus the stiffest sentencing in the Western World so, no, this will likely have no affect whatsoever on crime rates. The mistake you are making is thinking that criminals think that much about the consequences of their actions.....

'EVERY adult makes a choice to do right or do wrong."

Really? please show that to be the case......what kind of rational choice would it be to rape someone for a few minutes "pleasure" versus many years in jail even for a first offense? We need to protect ourselves from monsters like Pernell but its very unlikely he "chose" to be what he is in any meaningful sense of the word........

Boy is he going to be old when he gets out.

Changed? are you trying to be funny? EVERY adult makes a choice to do right or do wrong. I hope he is rehabilitated on his 166th year :)
