I do not know that we have a lot of time left, but I would like your opinion. In the case of an individual who has been sentenced—and we are talking about first degree murder, so someone who has committed a premeditated crime—how much time it can take before that individual is entitled to apply for parole?
Suppose that the person has been in jail for at least 15 years. Before holding a hearing, the court must convene a jury. How much time could it take to prepare that individual to file such an application before the court?
