For an extremely major crime, one might be executed. If not major enough, one could be sent to jail for an extremely long period of time or for the rest of ones life. Not having done any crimes, I think that's a good enough answer.

Another View: (in the US) Serious crimes are known as Felonies, and are punished (depending on the crime) by a sentence of MORE than one year in prison. The seriousness of the offense will have direct bearing on how many years a defendant will be sentenced or serve.
