Absolutely absurd, especially when you realize this is San Francisco/California, who love their criminals. Even if you discount all the sketchiness, this is still obviously a politic verdict; they've let plenty of people off who've done much worse, with much lighter sentences.
Is there any record of people in California being given life without parole? It would be interesting to compare how often it happens and the crimes in question, to DePape.
When given the chance to address the court prior to his sentencing, DePape, dressed in prison orange and with his brown hair in a ponytail, spoke at length about Sept. 11 being an inside job, his ex-wife being replaced by a body double, and his government-provided attorneys conspiring against him.
Huh, I wouldn't have thought his ex-wife had been replaced with a body double, but the other stuff is believable, so I guess I have to give it some consideration...
