The maximum penalties for murder are:\n\nfirst degree murder - mandatory life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for 25 years (can be paroled under the "faint hope clause" after 15 years imprisonment, but such a reduction is rarely given and is not available for multiple murders) \nsecond degree murder - mandatory life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for 10-25 years (parole eligibility determined by the judge at sentencing) (exception: if the person had committed another murder in their past, parole eligibility is 25 years) \nmanslaughter - maximum life imprisonment; if firearm was used to commit the offence, the minimum penalty is 4 years' imprisonment \ninfanticide - maximum 5 years imprisonment \nThere is a clause where persons convicted of multiple murder, and deemed unable for rehabilitation, to be declared a 'dangerous offender' upon examination of doctors and psychiatrists (usually for sexually related murder). Persons declared as dangerous offenders have an undetermined prison sentence, although it usually means an increase of 10 years (possibly to 35 or more years).

Oh yeah.  There is no statute of limitations on murder and the only person ever tried was OJ.

I assume your question is ...\n\nYou were wrongly accused, found guilty, and served your full sentence for killing someone.\n\nUpon your release, you saw this person, then killed him. Could you be charged again?\n\nAnswer.  No. You already served time for that offense. However, the law can play tricks on you, and they would most likely charge you for a different crime, such as crossing county lines to commit a felony.  \n\nThey will find something, and your sentence will probably be longer or worse because you're already a convicted felon.\n\nWhether I'm right or wrong ... I love your question! Best I've seen here so far!  Keep it up!

That depends entirely on the facts of the case and the penalty is at the discretion of a judge.\n\nReckless driving, for example won't get you as much time as you would if it were a DUI related manslaughter.

Depends on the state but it's a serious crime in every state.  In my state it's 10 to 40 years and if you're a good inmate you only have to serve 85 % of if.

I know the maximum sentence is 1 year in jail... not sure about the maximum fine.

He was found guilty for conspiracy to commit murder. He's in jail I believe for at least 3 years. Safe to say his hockey days are over.

if you have been convicted,and have fled jurisdiction to avoid jail,there is no statute,that only applies to an indictment.and yes they can extradite from canada.

The original sentence would have been a period of time probated for two years. If, during those two years, he seriously violated his probation by committing a new crime, he is looking at serving the remainder of that sentence PLUS any time for the new crime.

Depends on what country you are in and the actual nature of the crime!

First drugs are illegal so a punishment goes there.\nUnder the use of drugs an act of crime occurs, may not have if accused was clean.\nConsider priors he/she may have.\nThen put together a jail term and a drug rehab program.\nI would suggest  a 3 to 5 year  sentence and less time for good behavior.  \nYes you are right about a killing being less time. That really stinks.

I'm sure there's a minimum and maximum sentence... and those would likely be dependant on the laws of the state.  Most states are probably similar, but you should consult with the laws of the state you are in.  \n\nIn actuality, the number of years you would get if convicted would be determined by the judge at sentencing time.  It would be no more than the maximum sentence.. unless there were more charges or multiple counts.

Judges formally have to give 2 consecutive life sentences because thats the punishment the crimes calls for. Of course it does not mean their bodies sit in jail after they die, it would rot!\nIf it was only 1 person that was murdered, the person could get two life sentences because one would be for the act of homicide while the other might be for a felony the defendant was committing simultaneously with the crime. (I.E. A person commits first degree sexual assault then murders the victim during the same act.)\n\nThe point it, the judge must formally give the defendant his sentencing. But you are right, the symantics and logic of "you will be in prison until you die" serves the same purpose but the first one is much less grusom to the listeners ear.

Usually like 20 or so years. They can have up to three appeals, the first of which is free. Each of these is like a brand new trial. It takes so long because murder is not something to be taken lightly. The state is taking another human beings life (murder) and they want to make sure that they are executing the right person and that no more exonerating evidence shows up which has happened many times in the past.
