Bernie Madoff: Prepare for the O-MG Face

Well, I hope that massive ponzi scheme made for some nice vacations and photo-ops around the world as it looks like Bernie Madoff is heading to federal-pound-me-in-the-ass prison for 150 years.

Good for the justice system for actually getting something right but 150 years?

U.S. District Judge Denny Chin issued the maximum sentence to the 71-year-old defendant, who said he lives "in a tormented state now, knowing all the pain and suffering I've created."
Oh nevermind, that douche deserves it.

I've always found it odd when folks are convicted for multiple or egregious crimes that get several life sentences or a seemingly arbitrary number of years. Of course, no one (with the exception of Angel) can live out a 150 year prison term so why not just make it a life sentence?

And speaking of which what would happen if someone with a life sentence technically dies but is then resuscitated? Does medical science trump the judicial system? I think not but it would sure make an interesting appeal.
