It's retarded that it took this long considering how much people he killed.

But if you are caught with MP3s on your home PC, it's pretty much instant retarded fines + jail + all sorts of other penalties. Shows how the US government has it's priorities screwed up.

I wonder if the jury wasn't trying to use this to "make up for" the time they think he should've received then.

The jury wasn't involved in the sentencing, just the judge. She stressed that her sentence had nothing to do with anything that had happened in the past.

I don't think they can. Regardless if we agree with it or not, he was found not guilty in a trial, and you are innocent until proven guilty so therefore has an 'innocent' past in terms of criminal conduct.

Yes, the parole board isn't limited by the rules of evidence or other protections used by the courts.
