In Florida, anyone who is convicted of first degree murder receives a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Thus, barring a successful appeal, the convicts would spend the rest of their lives behind bars. If the defendants are convicted of a lesser crime, they will be eligible for parole at some point. When that "some point" is depends on the crime of which they are convicted.
