Christchurch Mosque Attack: Brenton Tarrant Sentenced to Life Without Parole

Elizabeth Tanaka

This article is about the sentence imposed for the "Christchurch Killer", the individual responsible for a mass shooting event in Christchurch, New Zealand that killed 51 Muslims while they were at Friday prayers.  The government just issued, for the first time in their history, a sentence of life without parole. It's a stark contrast to how often we see this sentence issued in the States.
