Judges usually impose multiple life sentences to show parole boards in the future the severity of the crime and how badly that person needed to be punished and removed from society.

In some cases its because you have to be sentenced on all charges against you and the crimes are so horrific you get two life sentences. It is wierd seeing how one life sentence from where I'm from is like 142yrs or something like that.

No one ever lives out more than one life sentence, this is just something to keep someone behind bars in case a smart lawyer gets him off on one of his life sentences.

a 'life' sentence is 25 years. Don't know why they call it life.
