Well.. 23 years are more than long enough for simple murder, imho. Here
in Germany, a "lifelong sentence" means 15 years. If you want to lock
up someone for longer, because he remains a danger to society (sexually
perverted child murderers etc.), you'd have to use preventive detention
(which is not a "punishment") and that is re-evaluated by psychologists
on a regular schedule. Everone should have a second chance. Of course,
the death "penalty" is a totally unacceptable barbarianism.
