Jailed for 4060 Years

| WEATHERFORD, Texas - A man was sentenced to more than 4,000 years in prison Wednesday for sexually assaulting three teenage girls. A day after finding James Kevin Pope guilty, jurors sentenced him to 40 life prison terms — one for each sex assault conviction — and 20 years for each of the three sexual performance of a child convictions. At the request of prosecutors, state District Judge Graham Quisenberry ordered Pope to serve the sentences consecutively, adding up to 4,060 years. He will be eligible for parole in the year 3209, according to the Parker County District Attorney's Office. "We believe it was a just result," prosecutor Robert DuBoise said, adding that he was "overwhelmed" with the judge's decision to stack the sentences. Pope, 43, abused the girls for nearly two years. It came to authorities' attention earlier this year after Pope made several inappropriate comments to a friend, who notified Child Protective Services. During the trial, the teens testified about the abuse, and their sexually explicit photographs were shown as evidence. But Rick Alley, Pope's defense lawyer, told jurors in closing arguments that the victims were incapable of understanding what happened, the Weatherford Democrat reported in its Wednesday online edition. "If it was as traumatic as they indicate, they would be able to give you (specific dates and times of the incidents). Simply because it's shocking doesn't make it true," Alley said. During the sentencing phase of the trial, a U.S. Secret Service agent testified that while examining Pope's home computer, he found more than 200 images of child porn. Later Wednesday, some jurors said the case was difficult because of the subject matter. "We were careful not to make any mistakes in viewing and evaluating the evidence," said juror Dale Lewis. |

Oh well, imo rotting in jail for life is worst then death penalty as long as you're secluded from all social contact

I never really understood the purpose of sentencing someone for years beyond a normal human's lifetime. Why not just 'life', instead of '4060 years'.
It probably seems a little extreme, but sexual assault can scar a person forever.
You have to sympathize for the teenage girls to a greater extent.

Thats fking crazy.
But he deserved that and more. and I agree with what pazenon say. you can;t be in jail longer than life and how the hell do they measure a life term. its not like if you outlast the estimated life term they;re just gonna let you go.

Most people are released a few years after they have been sentenced on Parole.
I have one word.
