California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Robles, B252895 (Cal. App. 2015):
Attempted murder is punishable by life imprisonment with the possibility of parole if the attempt was willful, deliberate, and premeditated. ( 664, subd. (a).) A prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment ordinarily must serve a minimum term of seven years before being paroled. ( 3046, subd. (a).) Section 186.22, subdivision (b)(5) is an alternate penalty provision that increases the minimum parole eligibility term from seven to 15 years. (People v. Montes (2003) 31 Cal.4th 350, 353, fn. 3.)
