15 years to life means his sentence is life with a possibility of parole after 15 years if the parole board thinks it would be better for society that he's out of prison. The parole board did not think so at 15 years. He'll get more chances in the future.

Thank you!
His sentence, according to above, is 15 years to life, so his sentence could end up being a life sentence.
sentenced 15 years to life
"15 Years _to life_"
it's a form that we non-Americans are not used to
the parole is not the same in each country :)
