So, what would Jerry be charged with and how much time do you think he would get?

No doubt accomplice to murder and kidnapping.
Don't believe there's been the Death Penalty in North Dakota since the 70s so he'd possibly get life in prison?

I would wager that this case would be extremely prolific so I am not sure there is a chance for leniency. Especially since the crime involved the kidnapping and murder of his own wife.

That'd be State of Minnesota vs Jerry Lundegaard. No actual crimes were committed in North Dakota.

Life in prison. A lot of people died as a result of his actions.

He's linked to six deaths, in fact:

1. The state trooper
2. The driver
3. The passenger
4. Wade
5. Jean
6. Carl

Great question.
My sarcastic answer would be to force him to watch a constant loop of either Intolerable Cruelty or No Country For Old Men5 to 10 years (or days?) should do it.
As for Fargo, it's a masterpiececlose to 10 out of 10.
