Sentence for Ex-Soldiers: 6,000 Years

Yes, that's six thousand years. Each.

Four former soldiers were sentenced Tuesday by a Guatemalan court, for their roles in the massacre of over 200 people in 1982, during the country's civil war.

With a sentence of 30 years for each victim, plus 30 years for crimes against humanity, each man was sentenced to 6,060 years.
