In America, what would happen? If he wasn't in a death penalty state? Wouldn't each murder be stacked up? I seem to remember seeing that on TV;like someone kills ten people, and is put away for ten consecutive life sentances;so they'll basically never get out.

Remorse wouldn't come into it unless you were talking about parole.
Societies can't just rewrite laws on an adhoc situational basis.
The question is, is he still a danger?
You honestly, honestly think that in ten or twenty years they will just say, 'well, the laws the law, out you go'?
It won't happen. No, I don't know how they will get around it, because I'm not a law expert, but it seems obvious that they will seek to do something to keep him out of the population.
And really, whatever their current law says, rightly so.
