If a criminal gets a life sentence in prison, then they die, then they come back to life, is their life sentence fulfilled and they can be released from prison?

This is actually fucking scary.

They also took issue with him being brought back to life as he’d signed a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order years earlier, The Des Moines Register reported at the time.

This sets the precedent that the convict is no longer in possession of their own body and life.

"Death is no escape. You will suffer as long as we want you to."

Welcome to the birth of Hell.

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that is something signed by choice, saying that the prisoner doesn’t want to be resuscitated if they die. I don’t think that is forced on them, but again, I could be wrong.

edit: nvm, I get what you’re saying now

Well

Benjamin Schreiber was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in 1996, after clubbing a man to death with the handle of a pickaxe and leaving his body outside a trailer. Schreiber had conspired with the man’s girlfriend to murder him.

I'd be more scared with him free

He took away someone else's body and life first.

Thats the problem with just laws and rights. They have to apply to everyone, even those we feel don't deserve it, otherwise they ain't just.
