If he dies, is he expected to come back and possibly be free?  Is this time in addition to life in place because of people who "died" and are revived within a few minutes? Is the justice system afraid that if a person comes back, they may be free on a technicality?  I've never understood why a sentence of "life plus" is necessary.  Do you?
