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.
