What does 'that is anything less than a conviction for first-degree murder' mean?
It sounds like someone who is concerned with an offender recieving a light sentence. Typically, a conviction for first-degree murder is going to carry a much heavier sentence and include much more jail time than a conviction for a lesser offense, so whoever said it probably wants the maximum possible punishment for the offender.

How much jail time can you get for first degree murder in self defense?
The answer to what I think you're asking is, it depends on your local/state laws. For example, the state of Tennessee has a law that will protect you in most cases if it was self defense, even with a gun that you illegally possessed. I don't think most states have that law.
What are the consequnces of first degree murder in Texas?
(changed answer as much of it was simply incorrect). Canada does not have the death penalty. First Degree Murder (murder where evidence shows the murdered planned the crime) carries a sentence of life. In Canada "life imprisonment" is defined as 25 years before the prisoner may apply for parole. The "faint hope clause" allows for some persons convicted of murder to be eligible for parole after 15 years -- however, this clause is rarely used and may soon be abolished. Second Degree Murder also results in life imprisonment, but the first parole opportunity may be in as little as 10 years. For Second Degree Murder the jury has input into how long the period of parole ineligibility should be. When a Canadian criminal is deemed a "dangerous offender", their sentence is indeterminate, but a parole review is held after 7 years and every 2 years after that.

Punishments are set by state laws and are not universal. Conspiracy to commit first degree murder is a quite an offense. The 17 year old will probably be charged as an adult, and he should be prepared to serve around twenty years if convicted.
