Ohio school shooter gets life in prison

Ohio school shooter T.J. Lane should spend the rest of his life in prison in the deaths of three students last year, a judge ruled Tuesday.

Wearing a white T-shirt with the word "killer" written on it, Lane declined to allow his attorneys to present evidence on his behalf at the sentencing hearing before Geauga County Common Pleas Judge David L. Fuhry.

Lane pleaded guilty last month to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and weapons-related charges in the February 27, 2012, shooting at Chardon High School in northeastern Ohio.

    He'll get parole in 5 or 10 years. Then, thanks to the NRA, he can buy another gun at a gun show or from a private owner.

      No he won't. If that was how it worked, Kip Kinkel would've been out a long time ago.

    The t-shirt reminds me of an idea I had years ago. Assuming a prisoner is paroled, the crime he committed should be tattooed or branded on his forehead for all to see. You would know who to be careful around, if they have "thief", "molester" or "swindler" on their forehead.

      I read on another blog that a UPC symbol was "The mark of the beast." Will that do?
