    This isn’t just murders against women, btw, it is murders against women because of their gender. So a hate crime against women.

    Life sentences in italy are indeterminate in length, but typically 15-30 years. After 10 years they may be allowed to work outside the prison during the day. Conditional release after 26 years.

      It’s incredibly sad South America still practices this evil.

    I cannot wait for fox news to breathlessly report on how this means it is legal to kill men or some other dumb nonsense.
