Yep, multiple appeals, anti-capital punishment lobbying, govenors' pardons, etc.
The problem with the comparison though is "life without parole" isn't actually life. The maximum sentence terms usually mean people get out .. after ~25 odd years of living in the penal system and having no way to adjust to "normal" life again..
