How long of a sentence is " good enough " ? In my mind good enough means that you have paid your debt to society for brutally killing the two people that brought you into this world . I may be a cold hearted son of a ***** but to me their current sentence is " good enough " .
What if their parents abused them (if the father abused them and the mother ignored it, that's a pretty serious abuse)? There are lots of parents where the extent of the parental action was that they had sex and didn't terminate. If a parent abused a child, I'd say that mitigates the good of "brought into this world".

And what about the comparison of this sentence other murder sentences?

I think they've served at least 28 years. They were convicted in 1996 and it's 2024. I don't know if they were in prison/jail prior to 1996, which could mean that it was longer.
