Convicted in Mexico
My brother is a U.S. citizen and was convicted in Mexicali, Mexico for kidnaping and agraviated murder. He received 30 years and they are not giving anybody benefits. He has served 13 years already. If he was in the U.S., after how long would he be allegeable for parole? This happened in 1996. We had hired a lawyer in Ca. and paid him 15,000 Dlls. but he did not do anything, we are out of money and my brother still in Mexico.
Re: Convicted in Mexico
Upon a conviction for murder, the sentence is 15 to life for second degree and 25 to life for first degree. If there was a murder in the course of a kidnap, it could fit into a special circumstance, carying the death penalty or life without the possibility of parole.
If he got 15 or 25 to life in CA for murder, he would serve all 15 or 25 before even being eligible for parole.
This isn't including enhancements for weapons, etc.
