This sentence means he will likely die in prison. He did not receive just 15 years. It is 15 years to life PLUS 1-15 years, meaning he must serve the first sentence and then move on to the second sentence. He was also sentenced on Monday to 1-15 years for sexually assaulting one of his daughters. That will also be served consecutive to the other sentences.
