Inderjit Singh Reyat pled guilty to 329 counts of manslaughter for his role in the 1985 bombing of an Air India flight (plea bargained down from 329 charges of murder). The judge, following the recommendation of the prosecutor, sentenced him to 5 years in prison.

Hmmm...let's see...5x365=1,825 days. Divided by 329 victims works out to about 5.6 days per victim.
That will certainly strike fear in the hearts of terrorists around the world.
