Earlier this month we marked the seventeenth anniversary of the Happyland Social Club fire that killed 87 people in the South Bronx back in 1990.
Convicted in the arson-murder, Julio Gonzalez, then thirty-six, was sentenced to 4,350 years in prison.
How time flys!
The fifty-three year old Gonzalez will be eligible for parole in just eight years, which by my calculations is something like 2,900 years earlier than the “one-third off for good behavior” clause would normally deliver.
Wow! Julio must’ve been an especially good boy this past decade.
