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.

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.
Laws and rights did apply to him.
Except they didn't if he signed a "do not resuscitate" and they did it anyways.
Are you saying we shouldn't try to be better than him?
I think there are few historical examples where someone was hanged and pronounced dead but then woke up and were pardoned.
There is one from Edinburgh, A woman who was hung but survived.
"life sentence in prison" means he is sentenced for life, so if he gets alive again he would be still with that sentence that is for life. It's not a "sentence until death".
I don't think that the law is ready to deal with zombies and other non realistic scenario
I mean... You can be clinically dead and then revived with cpr and a defibrillator, so not entirely unrealistic.
If he dies for long enough to complete all the paper work and produce death certeficate then he would be free
Unfortunately the person would not have any papers after, and trying to get papers may send them back to prison
no. they arent legally dead until they are
I believe they come back to "life in prison" .
Not sure how it is in other countries, but I always assumed that a "life" sentence at least in the US just meant anything over 25 years
I think in USA life sentence means until death 🤷🏻♀️
Not in every state, and many get life sentence with parole chance after X years.

This is actually fucking scary.

I'd be more scared with him free

That's tragic and really weird
But we are talking about sentenced to prison, not sentenced to death.
This is what Jon Snow did. Obviously real life works the same way
And now my watch has ended.

At least in Canada a "life" sentence is just a really long amount of time. I think 21 years?
EDIT: Looked into it. It's indefinite, only getting a chance to appeal after 25 years.
There was this case in south africa where a prisoner was revived multiple times.
