Doesn't appear to render any particular length of stated "life". I'd recommend whatever time "for life", as per underwater imprisonment allows.

imprisoned for life
The problem is life in prison in the US probably beats life in their sh1t-hole country.

They need to become shark food at the scene of the crime. That's a lesson that will attract attention back in the sh1t-hole homeland.

This is so wrong on multiple levels, the least of which is supporting their no count sorry a$$es with taxpayer funds for the rest of their days.

F’em, sounds like a prime opportunity to get in a little target practice leaving one alive to tell the tale to his compadres back at home port.

Holder will find a way to reduce the charges and get them off.
