Question: What crimes can you get a life sentence for?

Answer: In Arizona, life sentences can be imposed for murder in the first degree (the death penalty is also an option); conspiracy to commit murder; sexual assault when serious injury is intentionally committed; dangerous crimes committed against children; repeat offenses of dangerous crimes and serious drug offenses. Defining the words such as 'dangerous', 'serious', and 'knowingly' make this list more complex.
