“This isn’t a plea, where I have to rely on what the lawyers tell me happened. I watched the trial. The evidence was overwhelming,” said Milisauskas. Milisauskas said that some of the most damaging evidence was the internet history, the hiring of a hitman, and the bizarre penis issue.

Jensen’s lawyers argued for parole eligibility in 20 years, which would be retro-active to when Jensen was first incarcerated more than a decade ago. They said he would be a contributing member of society.

Jensen took a few minutes to speak. He asked for parole eligibility. He spoke of community service and his history of employment. The judge disagreed.

I have doubts in this case yo be honest. And Julie was a toxic couple. She was unfaithful in the more badly way.
Only because this case is mediatic he didn’t has parole.
Judge wasn’t fair because in other case they had parole.
