“The sentence for felony murder and malice murder is exactly the same,” said University of Georgia law professor emeritus Ron Carlson. “It is a distinction without a difference in terms of punishment.”

The minimum penalty is life in prison. It is up to the judge to decide whether that comes with or without the possibility of parole. Even if the possibility of parole is granted, a person convicted of murder must serve 30 years before becoming eligible.

Jurors in Georgia are not supposed to consider the potential penalty when deliberating on guilt or innocence, as sentencing is up to the judge.

This is what the likely threat of rioting does. If you dont think this isnt something thats taken into account with some verdicts, you tripping. They arent more just now. They are more concerned now. Violence is always an option. So much so that the threat of it, can influence broad outcomes.
