9-11 terrorist gets life in prison

Ok, this I understand but would someone who knew a bank robbery was going to take place and didn't tell the police get life imprisonment with no possibility of parole?

I'm not saying the guy should be set free or anything, I'm just asking because I fear that punishment for crime is starting to depend on the consequences of it or even how many people know a ...[text shortened]... On the other hand he seems rather pleased that he did so perhaps it's not too bad anyway.

The bank robber non-informant would get a sentence proportionate with the crime of bank robbery. The non-informant on a plot to murder an individual would get a sentence proportionate to the crime of murder. The non-informant on a plan to kill at the very least several hundred airline passengers gets a sentence proportionate to the crime of mass murder.

I haven't been following the case closely enough to understand exactly what he confessed to and was found guilty of. While I get your point, it does seem at first glance that there's some justification for a relatively heavy sentence. Yes the hijackers 'got lucky' by killing several thousand people. But it was foreseeable they would kill several hundred.

It is wrong for anyone to kill. Whether it is the state or an individual.

Unless it's annoying you or you're gonna eat it.

Originally sentenced by the Judge
Life with hard labour

As long as the Dirty White Boys give him some sex education, I don't mind how long he stays alive...
