Claim 2: “The 19-year-old could have faced as little as two years in prison or up to the rest of his life behind bars”
DISPUTED
There is a contradiction in the evidence regarding the minimum sentencing range. One source mentions a range of 'five to 99 years, or life in prison', while the claim states 'as little as two years'. No source explicitly confirms a 2-year minimum.
