In the French penal code, murder is defined by the intentional killing of another person. Murder is punishable by [1] a maximum of 30 years of criminal imprisonment (no more than 20 years if the defendant is not sentenced to 30 years).[2] Assassination (murder with premeditation)[3] and murder in some special case (if the victim is a child under 15, parents, people with disabilities, police officer etc.)[4] are punished by a jail time up to life imprisonment (no more than 30 years if the defendant is not sentenced to life). In France except for recidivist[5] the minimum sentence in criminal prosecution is one or two year of imprisonment, which may be suspended if the term of the sentence is under 5 years.[6] Manslaughter is punishable by 15 years imprisonment, or 20 years with aggravating circumstances (the same that make a murderer eligible for life in jail).
