The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual, is murder in the second degree and constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life or as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

How many States use sentencing life without parole for second degree murder?

Both Louisiana and South Dakota have mandatory life sentences without parole for second degree murder (The exception in South Dakota is if one gives another person a drug which results in their death. In such case, Life without parole isn't mandatory). In Florida, people can be sentenced to life without parole for second degree murder at the discretion of the judge (however the minimum of 20.5 years if you have a clean record, 25 years if committed with a firearm). Generally, most states (Except Louisiana and South Dakota), allow for parole for a second degree murder sentence, and some don't even allow for life sentences for second degree murder. In Washington State, where I'm from, the standard sentence for second degree murder is 10 to 18 years imprisonment.
