Well, 25 years. By statute, you should receive a minimum and maximum sentence. Unless you received a flat sentence, under which you would serve the full sentence, if 25 years is that sentence.
In most cases, if 25 years is your statutory minimum, count on an additional 12 or more years before parole.
Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.
