Apparently their lives don't matter if they're going to prison for a long time.  I won't hold my breathe that they'll be given life sentences.  After all, the US Supreme Court thinks these types of thugs can be rehabilitated and therefore they're likely to get maybe 20 years if that.  I hope not.  I hope they get life in prison. I can't imagine what the parents of these thugs are going through.  Yeah, yeah I know, but if it were my child that participated in this heinous crime, I know I wouldn't be able to bear the aftermath of what my child did.
