Then why is a first degree murder conviction almost always stated as 'life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years'? According to the criminal code there is 25 years of parole ineligibility with a first degree murder conviction. Does that not mean that there is a chance to have a parole hearing after 25 years ?
