Alright Eso: I was watching some program a few weeks back and some dudes were being sentecne for a crime, and the judge senteced one dude to 25 to life(which i figures meant that he would have to serve a life sentence with parole eligibility after 25 years) and then the next dude he gave a sentence of life to 25.
Is 25-to-life the same as life-to-25? If not, what the difference?
