In cases where there is absolute proof that the murderer is guilty, as in this case, the murderer should be executed. Appeals should be accelerated or limited. The murderer gave up any rights he had when he took away the rights of his victims.
The only way a life sentence would be remotely acceptable would be to be put in a cell 24 hours a day, naked, lights always on, no TV or other entertainment, just a steel cot, a toilet and a sink/shower. Or let the guy out in the general prison population with no protection and let the other prisoners know what he did. Se how long he lasts.
