When someone gets a life sentence why do the judges add extra years?
AdrianCamarillofb916...
From what I understand, it is because each crime a person commits carries with it a certain sentence, so if someone kills or say for instance rapes many persons, he/she will be sentenced accordingly. Iwhen you die in prison and still have years do the prison hold body for so many years added

∙ 9y agoIf someone gets a life sentence, one reason a judge would add extra years is because if the criminal is found innocent for the crime committed he may still remain in jail due to the added years.

What is it called when some one is accused of something is facing 20 years but find a case of someone with the same crime but get 5 years?
If I understand the question you want to know why someone can be convicted of a crime and get a sentence of 20 years while another person convicted of the same crime only gets 5 years. If that is the case there were most likely mitigating circumstances. Judges also have a modicum of discretion when deciding sentencing while one person may receive the max sentence the other received a more lenient sentence. If 20 years is an unusually harsh sentence for the crime there is always a possibility to appeal the conviction or the sentence.

How long was the period of the Judges?
AnswerBased on the evidence of the Book of Judges in its discussion of each of the judges, the period of the judges is over four hundred years, but a chronological contrivance leads to the conclusion that this is a purely artificial timespan. The number of years of peace brought about by each of the major judges, or the number of years of their ruling, is consistently a multiple of 20. For example, after Othniel's defeat of Cushan-rishathaim, Israel had 40 years of peace (Judges 3.11), then after Ehud, it remained free of strife for 80 years (Judges 3.30), and so on. These periods were clearly chosen because they were easy to remember when narrative epic stories handed down through the generations until their final versons were committed to writing. Scholars say that the Israelite tribal period, or period of the Judges, was undoubtedly much shorter than four hundred years.
What does it mean if a person is incarcerated DOC for 7 years but SES 5 years probation mean?

What is ''parole'' in court?
The same as out of Court. Someone who is released from prison before they serve their entire sentence is on "parole" for the remainder of their sentence. For example if someone sits in jail for 6 months on a Felony Stealing charge and gets sentenced to 5 years then they go to prison. The 6 months they sat in jail counts towards their sentence. So if they do 2yrs in prison then get released on parole they are on parole the remainder of their sentence or 2.5 years.
