A few days ago, I read about different sentences people were given for various crimes. It then led me to look at the number of deaths by the hands of a single person. I next thought about children and probably because I recently watched a show about JonBenét Ramsey and her tragic death. I got to thinking about child birth because I watched a show about that for some reason. You probably see where this is going. Here are some random facts and they are in no particular order.

*******

Longest world non-life sentence = Chamoy Thipayo who was convicted of corporate fraud, defrauding more than 16,000 Thai people in a pyramid scheme in 1989. She was given 141,078 years, but only served eight years out of 20 in accordance with Thai law. She is still alive.

Longest U.S. non-life sentence = Christopher Campano who was convicted of first-degree manslaughter of his wife in 1992 in Oklahoma. He was given 1,000 years. He is still alive.

Longest world and U.S. life sentence without parole = Terry Nichols who was convicted of first-degree murder, first-degree arson, and conspiracy for the Oklahoma City bombing in the United States in 1995. He was given 161 life sentences without parole. He is still alive.

Longest white-collar crime sentence in the U.S. = Sholam Weiss who was convicted of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering in Florida in 2000. He was given 845 years then reduced to 835 years. He is still alive.

He was caught in 1999 and raped, tortured, and killed at least 138 boys and teenagers. He was caught in 1999. He is still alive. The chances of him being released in 2021 is not very likely.

Largest number of children by one woman = Valentina Vassilyeva who had 69 children due to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets pf quadruplets. There is some speculation this might not be completely accurate, but it was during the 1700s in Russia.
