Tulsa Law
From Chuck Shepherd's News Of The Weird:
1996 -- In March, two convicted rapists, Allan Wayne McLaurin and Darron Bennalford Anderson, were re-sentenced by a jury in Tulsa, Okla., after an appeals court said the original sentences totaling 6,475 years were based on faulty jury instructions. This time, the jury said the crimes were worth an additional 260 centuries in prison a total of 21,250 years to McLaurin and 11,250 to Anderson. (Two weeks later, the same Oklahoma appeals court upheld a 1994 sentence, for the man who raped a 3-year-old girl, of 30,000 years. The only dissenting judge said he would have ordered the six 5,000-year sentences to be served concurrently instead of consecutively.)
