"He is looking at 25 years in prison."
English isn't my native language, and I don't know what the above sentence means. Does it mean he is sentenced to 25 years in prison? Or he "is going to (will be)" sentenced to 25 years in prison? Or is he serving his time in prison? Or none of the above? what is a synonym for "looking at"?

"Possibly going to prison for" or "facing". He may or may not have been found guilty, but is certainly still waiting for the sentence to be passed.

He is likely to be sentenced to 25 years in prison.
He must have done something really horrific to be facing such a long sentence!

No, sort of, no, no; Facing, up for, headed to, etc.
