9,970 Years To Go

     The inmate serving the longest sentence imposed in American History turned 70 years old yesterday.

     He's in the St. Clair County Correctional facility here in Alabama, if you care to send a belated card.

     Dudley Wayne Kyzer was sentenced to 10,000 years in 1981 for a triple homicide after his original death penalty was overturned.

     He was up for parole last year. Not a prayer.

     But how can he be up for parole after serving just .00008% of his time?
