t would depend on prior history- is this a problem child- or a tragic mistake or accident. The Supreme Court has ruled against Capital punishment for juveniles and also for criminally insane or mentally-retarded perpetrators of crimes. the age at the time of the crime is paramount/ They would still be classified as juveniles- and might get- depending on whether they have l9 year or 2l year adult status int he state- correction custody up to that age. as started before, executions are mercifully off-limits. Kids do Kill and commit capital level and other severe crimes- such as Arson. Tampering with traffic devices to induce auto accidents- while not strictly speaking murder- does pose a grave problem. This has happened with vandalized traffic lights- traffic-directional signs, etc and has taken human life- no light matter.

What is the maxium time or sentence that is given for 2nd degree murder?
Your question of "What is the minimum sentence for murder?" leaves a lot of unanswered details. Murder involves one person involved in the death of another. The first question to be asked is, "What type of murder?" Murder varies from self defense, to involuntary manslaughter, to voluntary manslaughter, to second degree murder, to first degree murder. Generally, there is no sentence if the jury decides it was self defense. First degree murder involves premeditated murder, murder of a law officer, or murder committed during a felony. The first thing the jury decides is guilt or innocence or self defense. Then the jury decides what kind of murder. In this state the minimums for the amount of prison time are 0 for involuntary manslaughter, 0 for voluntary manslaughter, 10 for second degree murder, and 25 for first degree murder. That does not include time spent under court ordered supervision.
