The maximum time for her conviction is three years.

On Thursday, the Mumbai court had absolved the two of murder and held them guilty of lesser offences as the Mumbai Police failed to conclusively prove the motive behind the crime.
Jerome was convicted of 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder' under Section 304 (part I) IPC which attracts a life term in jail or imprisonment up to 10 years. Both he and Maria were also found guilty of causing the disappearance of evidence under section 201 IPC which provides for a maximum three years in jail.
