3. according to the news account,

The military judge hearing the case, Col. Stephen R. Henley, issued a sentence of life in prison without parole, the maximum for the charges. Under military law, the defendant is given the lesser sentence unless he violates terms of the plea agreement, which require Cortez to testify against others charged in the case.

Am I missing the part where he is eligible for parole?

4. This is so hokey.

Whatever the magistrate says, this was a sentence of ten years, since he will be eligible for parole in ten.
Get caught smoking a doobie, go to prison for twenty years; rape, five counts of murder, terrorizing-hideous crimes all-and you get ten years.

Fucking disgusting!
