Question: How long do you go to jail for attempted murder?
Answer: Attempted murder is a class 2 felony. If the defendant does not have any prior felony convictions and the crime did not involve the use of a deadly weapon (e.g. gun), dangerous instrument (e.g. knife) or result in the serious physical injury of the victim, the defendant would be sentenced for a class 2 non-dangerous felony. The range of punishment for a class 2 non-dangerous felony is a minimum of 3 years and a maximum of 12.5 years.
If the crime did involve a deadly weapon, dangerous instrument or resulted in the serious physical injury of the victim, the defendant is convicted of a class 2 dangerous felony. In that case, the minimum prison term is 7 years and the maximum prison term is 21 years.

My step-dad had went with his friend to pick up this girl at her house. But her friend was there and was all drunk and had been taking lots of drugs. The guy started approaching my step-dad and his friend. His friend grabbed a gun and shot the guy. My step-dad had nothing to do with the shooting, but since he was in the car, he is held as an accessory. How much time will he do?
