...she could be eligible for parole anywhere from 7 years to 25. And that’s only if they hit her with the max...

I don't know about you but I know almost nothing about US law...and *absolutely* nothing about Canadian law.I'm not sure that either of us can make a statement like yours with any certainty.

In Canada, the most severe “life” terms have parole eligibility after 25 years for first-degree murder, 15 years for second-degree, and lower for other crimes. For fixed-term sentences, parole eligibility begins at 1/3 of the term with most convicts getting parole after 2/3.
