What worries me is that these sentences should be lifetime. I mean, a max sentence of twenty years is still enough time to build up anger and resentment, only to unleash it on the country again when you get out and are a felon with nothing to turn to except fellow released insurrectionists with axes to grind against society.

I hear you. Regarding Barnett though, he's 62. One of the charges he was convicted of carries a potential maximum sentence of twenty years. Another charge carries a potential maximum of ten years. That's just two of the eight charges.

There's a very good chance he'll die behind bars depending on what he's sentenced to, Given his shenanigans while awaiting and during his trial, I hope the judge is not lenient.
