Pennsylvania sentences typically list the minimum and maximum sentences, with the release saying the defendant will usually serve the minimum sentence in prison before being released to serve the remainder of the sentence on parole, case-dependent.
Officials say this case took so long to prosecute because Denson was already in prison in New York on things unrelated to this case.
