War Machine gets life

War Machine got a life sentence.

Not eligible for parole until he's going to be in his 70's.

I hope he doesn't commit suicide and that every day for him is a living hell.

Good.

Life sentence was more than I was expecting.  I knew he deserved a very long time in jail but not sure about life imprisonment.

I think a bunch of factor's came into play including him having legal problems before and having already served jail time. I believe he also turned down a plea deal for 13 years. On one hand, I do feel a little sorry for him as he clearly had mental problems and I'm sure his childhood didn't help. However, it's become clear with all his legal problems, he's clearly a danger to people and needs to be locked away somewhere. It doesn't also help he's an MMA fighter so his hands and feet could be considered lethal weapons. I would hope he's forced to have therapy because he clearly needs it.

He should have taken that plea deal. I am sure he'll appeal this decision.

Plea deals are modern day version's of having a confession tortured out of you "say your guilty or we will try to get you jailed for X # of years were you will be beat, raped, and shanked".

That being said this guy is awful.

He deserves to be in a long time,he did serious damage to a female like breaking bones and attempted rape he just couldn't get it up.


He's a pile of waste man.

Yeah, not good.

What would happen if they put him in a cell with Dan Quinn and Joe Son?
