Nothing new today. Was scrolling through an inmate search website that show prisoners who are up for parole during any particular month/year. I know, I know, obsessive on my part, but I can't find any inform on average incarceration rates on 2 ND degree Murder inmates.
If your convicted of second degree murder, you will automatically receive 15 years to Life. Sometimes 20 to life under certain circumstances. Another 3 years will be tagged on for a gun spec. As I was going over all the records of convicts up for parole, I noticed the average rate of incarceration was about 20 to 22 years respectively for 2nd degree. As an interesting side note, I found that rapist will do as much or more time as second degree Murderers. None support, various fraud, various drug, and domestic violence convictions will land you anywhere from 1 to 3 years.
I never thought I would be researching something like this, but the stbx is forcing me to. I have to protect my kids. I hope her OM does the 20 to 22 average which will give my kids some more time to grow up before OM comes around. I just wish our justice system and parole boards were more sensitive to public safety instead of overcrowding.
