When my dad was 53 (9 years ago) he was sentenced to 65 years and 1 day. with the 65 years in the state of Indiana he would have been eligible for parole in 12 years.
Where he was sentenced didn't believe in the death penalty so it took the jury 3 days to figure out his sentence. The 1 day they gave him messed everything up for him because now he has to serve the whole 65 years and 8 hours of the day to be eligible for parole.
His crimes were:
Rape
Murder
Stolen Car (mine)
Identity theft (mine again)
Theft via forgery (stole my bank book)
Although he is my dad I cannot condone anything he did. The day they sentenced him to prison was the last time he ever seen my face. I have 3 bullet wounds from the girl he killed brothers coming after me because they thought I was the suspect (I have my fathers name )
So in the end the jury did the best thing for him. Thier sentencing was read as such:
rape = 65 years
murder = 1 day
Stolen Car (mine) = he would never see me agin they knew this from the testimony in court. And he could sit in prison for the rest of his life and wonder why even his family will have nothing to do with him.
Identity theft (mine again) = same as above
Theft via forgery (stole my bank book) = same as above
