11/22   What's the logic behind 'consecutive life sentence'?  I can see being
        given multiple life sentences to be served at the same time, i.e. if
        one gets overturned you serve the others.  But making them
        'consecutive' makes no sense unless you believe in reincarnation and
        plan on incarcerating the next incarnation (An insect?).
        \_ I heard some vague explanation about sentences getting shortened
           for 'good behavior,' and how in some cases you don't want people
           getting out that way. -- ilyas
           \_ What's the diff between that and life sentence without the
              possibility of parole?
              \_ Multiple life sentences occur when you commit multiple crimes
                 that each carry a life sentence.
                 \_ It's spelled "sentence".  Corrected.
                    \_ Funny, I thought it was spelled "anal."
              \_ I don't know. -- ilyas
