I've found that it is correct info: The longest jail sentence passed was in the United States - 10,000 years for a triple murder. Dudley Wayne Kyzer was jailed for 10,000 years by a court in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 1981 for murdering his wife. He was then sentenced to two life terms for murdering his mother-in-law and a college student.

thanks for sharing

If we consider that for killing 1 person the murder is sent to jail for 15-20 years, 10.000 years of jail can be given for killing 500-666 people. Simple arithmetic biggrin

OS, What is the connection between him and information I gave? biggrin I just wanted to clarify, how 10000 years of jail can be given to a one person, in order to help you. And I wanted to answer your question. From my answer it is easy to understand that I can't beleive in it, as a person is usually given 10000 of jail for killing 500-666 people but not just for 3. "...look more carefully!..." © tongue
