Life imprisonment - around 23 years.

Answer 2

While there are mandatory minimums and maximums for some crimes, there are no set penalties for any offense. The court must consider the facts and circumstances of the crime, the defendant's history, and any other mitigating or aggravating circumstances to determine the specific sentence in each individual crime.
