useless POS.
Sometimes plea deals are not justice when the crimes are as horrid as this scumbag committed. he should be executed, not fed and cared for on our dime.

An accused serial killer pleaded guilty to seven murders at a court in South Carolina on Friday and was given seven consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, avoiding the death penalty, local news reports said.
The defendant, Todd Kohlhepp, 46, admitted to chaining a woman inside a storage shed on his rural property for two months and to a 2003 massacre of four people at a motorbike store, among other crimes, the Spartanburg Herald-Journal reported.
As a part of the plea deal, Kohlhepp agreed not to contest the validity of the conviction in state or federal court and gave up his right to appeal, the newspaper reported.
Lawyers for Kohlhepp and the Spartanburg County prosecutor were not immediately available for comment.
He pleaded guilty to all charges against him, which included the seven murders, kidnapping and sexual assault, the paper said.
The crimes date back to 2003 and the bodies of several of the people killed by Kohlhepp were found on his property.

I find it insane that the courts can declare someone "not guilty" by reason of insanity, when it should be "guilty by reason of insanity".
And the appeal will be because no sane person could reasonably do such horrendous things. Hope they keep him in general population not any "protected" custody.
I don't like the death penalty when there is not a 100% certainty that the accused is guilty. The death penalty would have been warranted here, but some of the deceased's relatives did not want it.
