Lifelong of death sentence means....imprison him, sentence him to death row but postpone the death sentence until he died from aging without having him to know that you are postponing the shot/hang/injection or whatever..
The warden should tell him what to expect to experience right after the needle goes into his arm... Why we bother putting psychos like this in prison, at $30k+ a year of tax payer money, is beyond me. Bullets or rope cost less than a buck.
I don't think he deserves even 15 years. All he did was talk to some people online. Sure what he did was morally terrible, but 15 years for talking to people?? They still made their own decisions, there was no coercion, threats, etc, just advice.
