I don’t know. If I knew that I’d really have to spend the rest of my life behind bars, I’d rather they just take me out back and shoot me right now.

Being the key word here: you do not really know and so you would not want to get shot as you might be out in 5.

If I got multiple life sentences with no chance of parole, I think that would be a pretty good indicator that I wasn't going anywhere in 5 years.

If you in fact did kill multiple people then sure, but that is a tiny % of people who are locked up. But then, maybe. I think most would prefer life even in that situation.

But, why? A lifetime of misery in prison or a quick release… That doesn’t seem like a tough decision to me.
