Appeals could go on for a long time. The conviction might be overturned. But if he's put in with the general population in prison, he might wish somebody would just go ahead and put a knee on his neck.

(7,577 posts)man. The primary goal has always been accountability. That doesn't end when he enters prison. I hope he is a miserable human being for the rest of his life. His kind of hatred needs to be removed from our society.

(102,119 posts)Why would anyone want to make a martyr of him? Justice is carrying out his sentence--not turning him over to jail vigilantes or mobs. His security is something I think prison authorities will work to ensure, though the isolation will be worse for him.

(2,177 posts)He has nothing left. His wife left him, barely anyone showed up at his trial for him. i think if he was released he would have never gone to prison.
