life sentence
It depends on where the murder is committed as well as how, why, and by what method. Murder has different degrees in some but not all jurisdictions and sentences can range from probation to the death penalty but usually somewhere in between. In some areas a 1st degree murder conviction is a mandatory life without the possibility of parole sentence.
In Alabama, reckless homicide is classified as a Class B felony. A conviction can result in a prison sentence ranging from 2 to 20 years. Additionally, fines may be imposed, typically not exceeding $30,000. The specific sentence can vary based on the circumstances of the case and the defendant's criminal history.
The sentence is: "The girlie used a chainsaw."
"Homicide" refers to a crime involving murder. Example : "The man committed homicide and was arrested and jailed."
