Now that’s a sentence

Stuff reports:

A former Cleveland school bus driver, Ariel Castro, today pleaded guilty to hundreds of charges of kidnapping and raping three women he held captive and will serve life in prison, the culmination of one of the most sensational criminal cases in the United States in recent years.

At a court hearing, Ohio prosecutors in turn agreed that Castro would not be eligible for the death penalty. The agreement means Castro will not stand trial, sparing the women the trauma of testifying about their abuse by Castro over about a decade. …

Castro pleaded guilty to 937 counts of the 977 charges against him, including kidnapping of the three women and the young girl, and serial rape of the women.

The full sentence is life without parole, plus 1000 years.

Guess he won’t be bothering the parole board anytime soon. Good!
