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.

Sentences can be appealed or shortened while the person is in prison. Sometimes the longer the sentence is at sentencing, the more likely the final, actual amount of time served post-appeals and post-shortenings will be a still-appropriate length.
For instance: if someone is given multiple life sentences, and is able to appeal one of them due to a technicality, they will still have some remaining life sentences keeping them in prison.
