Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!"

Yep - when I first read the headline I thougth he got the death penalty for the murder...which would have been harsh - then this - the complete opposite. How offensive to this victims memory and family.
