    70 year sentences for trans femicides. Here’s the punitive punishment you were asking for conservatives. If you can’t do the time then don’t do the crime.

    Transfemicide sounds like only murders of trans women get these high prison sentences but the article makes no mention of that. Does that mean it is for murder of any transperson (trans men and women)? The naming is confusing.

    Murder isn’t life? Or is this in addition to the murder charge?

      Afaik life can mean different things in different jurisdictions. I can mean the rest of someone’s life but it can also be set to a specific number of years, e.g. 30 years.

      Life can also be indeterminate, and based on future assessments.

      And 1st degree murder doesn’t necessarily give you life, the punishment and interpretation can be quite flexible, but a minimum might be set such as 25 years.
