What is the sentence for attempted murder in the in America?
If you committed the offence of attempted murder on a Federal Officer, elected or appointed Federal Official or on Federal Property, the offense carries a sentence of 5 to 8 years. Against the president it is Life without parole. Otherwise it all depends on which of the 50 states you committed the offense or the numerous territories. Overall, you should expect about the same as the Federal penalties. But the actual time behind bars will probably be 2 to 3 years. If this is you, you might want to join the Aryan, Black Brotherhoods, Mexican Mafia or Crips gangs before reporting to prison. If you lack affiliation you will be a punk (look up the prison definition) John Gotti, head of the US crime syndacate wasn’t a member of any prison group though. He paid the Aryans $5000 a month for protection. But he quit paying. The result is he got stabbed and buggered by the Black Brotherhood. Gotti started paying again, but the price of protection was now $8000 a month. Just laying out the future.
