So after the minimum they could be paroled, let ou ... what?15 is the minimum sentence they have to serve.
See .. I didn't know that. Thank you.After 15 years their case can go before the parole board, but it doesnt automatically happen.
Good behavior is roughly 1 day per week. Every 6 days counts as 7 or 54 days off a year.
I'm actually looking forward to it.State or federal?
i think in most states,they do a percentage of the minimum, then are "eligible" for parole. Some states used to be as little as 1/3. Now it's higher - half or 75%.
I'm sure ,goat will look it up and write an opus

Federal murder? Is all murder, capitol murder? How is it judged?

I think federal murder also has to deal with location too. Like when someone is murdered in a national park.I think the only federal murder is when a fed is killed.
Not all murder is "capital" murder. They have to show "aggravating factors" to go for the death penalty. Plus, The Supremes just ruled that a jury has to make the sentencing decisions, which messes up the process in some states - where the judge had that power instead.

And do the feds just take over after that?
And so, capitol murder is the only time your eligible for the death penalty?
I don't know if Feds have sole jurisdiction for murder on federal property. Sounds right though.
And yes - they call it all kinds of names, but if it's "capital murder," the death penalty is in play.
Some real good stuff here. Again thank you.PS - they have to decide early. A death sentence case has all kinds of different rules, the biggie being a "death qualified jury." That means they all say they are willing to fry the guy ... If the evidence meets the legal qualifications (wink wink).

Law don't go around here LawDog...When someone gets 15 to life, does that mean after 15 yrs they are eligible for parole?
This isn't my area, so all I can offer are the very basics. But MTIOTF called me out, so I had to type something.
Often, the state will back off and let the feds take the case first, because feds have 1) a higher rate of guilty please, 2) a higher rate of convictions, and 3) stricter sentencing.
