Reports on the Ron Jeremy trial state he could be sentenced to between 250 years to life in jail. This seems nonsensical considering 250 years more than amounts to life in jail.
Why not just sentence him to the rest of his natural life in jail if found guilty. What’s the benefit of considering an incredibly long and impossible sentence?

It’s kind of like selling a used car. You always ask a higher price than what you’d really want for it (sentence to more years in prison than the minimum the court feels they deserve). That way, if the buyer talks you down (the convicted gets paroled or reduced sentence) both parties (the court and the prison system) are satisfied with the final price (sentence)
