Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Charged with 2nd deg murder

What is the standard range of sentencing? I've read the statutes and I don't understand how to find the exact sentencing term for the charge of 2nd deg murder? I'm looking for an answer in years? Is there a standard to follow for the crime vs the term of the sentence?
