Technically speaking, a person can only live as long as their natural life. So "life" ends at death, whether death will occur in one hour, one day, or 65 years from now.

However, when Judges want to emphasize no possibility of parole for heinous crimes, a judge can give a life sentence (or lifespan sentence) for every count charged (such as multiple murder charges). So, if a criminal killed multiple times, the judge could sentence to say, "Life plus 100 years". The person would die long before reaching that limit.

A man was to be sentenced and the judge told him You may make a statement If it is true I'll sentence you to four years in prison If it is false I'll sentence you to six years in prison After?

A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.
