I just heard on the TV that someone got life in prison plus 47 years. I never understood this. Life in prison is life in prison so what does this mean when they get additional time on top of life in prison?
A simple way to view it is that justice has to be done. For every crime committed, there must be a sentence. If someone steals 10 pieces of candy from 10 stores there are 10 charges that must be addressed. The only way around this is through plea negotiations.
