- k_sh 8y agoThat's not a fair comparison - you're measuring the bill's maximum against a murder charge's minimum. The bill allows anything from fines up to 20 years in prison, while a murder charge has a mandatory minimum of 15 years (up to life).
- SCAQTony 8y agoSecond degree murder from one jurisdiction to another. In California I stand mostly corrected: The penalty is: 15-years to Life. At the 15-year mark they are eligible for parole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_(United_States_law)#California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_(United_States_law)#Cal...
