Life without parole should apply in the rarest of rare cases (basically incorrigible serial killers). The "normal" sentence for premeditated murder should be something like 20-life -- trust the parole board to decide whether the criminal continues to be a danger to society.
i.e. Manson is eligible for parole, but no one has granted such a thing to him!
