From HipHopWired.com:
Sammie Lee Nichols, 20, of Sacramento was sentenced to over 149 years in prison for raping two women at gun point. Although the crime is shocking, what the man had to say to the victims left the courtroom in disbelief.
Instead of apologizing to the victims for his actions, he instead blamed them for "taking advantage of him".
Both the defense and the judge tried to be lenient in sentencing Nichols since he has never been in trouble prior to these incidents, and due to childhood abuse by his mother.
But after Nichols' statement, the judge ruled him a danger to society, and passed down the extended sentence.
