Life without parole would remove him from society, yet save his family from a certain level of grief, as he still has a mother and father, who don't want to see him die. Yes, his crime was horrible, but his parents didn't commit the crime. What's the need to make them suffer also? Not that I'm completely against the death penalty either, mind you.
