I didn't know he had solicited murder (it's not mentioned in the short article linked) so I was wondering what made a glorified drug dealer middleman deserve life in prison.
But the thing is: he wasn't even convicted for that!

Yes, but he can still be convicted for that in Maryland, right? So massively inflating this sentence due to the murder-for-hire allegations sounds like potentially convicting him twice for the same crime.
