What is the maximum sentence for attempted murder?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Hoare, 2016 ONCJ 36 (CanLII):
The maximum sentence for attempted murder is life, which would be imposed for the worst offender committing the worst offence, as, for example, in R v. Huff. For an offender with no criminal record, a sentence of 15 years would appear to be at the high end of the range of available sentences.
