Man sentenced 15 years to life for Sailor's carjacking death in Coronado

[@LeoLeo-ws4go]

15 yrs to do like 12 yrs in prison is like an invitation for other people to commit murder thats just a slap in the hand if you ask me

If people are gonna carjack they will do it regardless of what the sentence is trust me

He'll probably be eligible for parole before 15 years based on the news report based on his young age. So it's possible he could get out in 10-12 years. A slap in the face to the victim's family.

15 years to life in CA means he must do 15 years before any type of parole hearing. He can do 20, 30, 40 years in prison before he is granted parole, it all depends on his behavior and the parole board.
