What is the least possible amount of time that a capital offender might serve?

The offender was a Marine and 19 years of age at the time of the offense. The offense was capital murder, committed in Mississippi, and the sentence is life. I think with parole. The offender has already done about 6 years. But regardless of details, what's the shortest sentence you've ever heard of a capital offender carry out when the sentence is life?

25 years. And even if he has the possibility of parole, doesn't mean he'll get it.
