Question

if the property only recieved smoke damage and no one died what can be the maxim sentance for a arson charge

Answer 1

Quite frankly, it depends upon the circumstances. A person can get 40 years to life in prison if the arson was committed during an attempted murder, or in connection to some other grievous conspiracy. However, it is more likely that a 1st offense will get 1 to 10 years, if there are no other circumstances and the arsonist is an adult.
