Don't know, but it can't be good. Got you in trouble once, and you get busted again? Time to leave the drugs alone for a while, don't you think? I hope not for your sake, but this time you just might have time to think it over.

Probably a violent/illegal substance/sex crime or any felony. Then again this is Oregon we're talking about.

You can ask.  If only traffic diversion can get once a year.  If drugs, federal courts don't charge unless they mean to give someone serious prison time, not diversion.

Caveat:  I am not licensed to practice in Mississippi and therefore, this should not be construed as legal advice.  For specific advice, you need to consult an attorney in Mississippi.\n\nIt appears that he was convicted on both counts, from what  you have stated.  Different states have different rules relating to sentencing and how it is done.  In some states, notably the southern states, the sentence is either left completely up to the discretion of the judge, (within statutory minimums and maximums) or is decided by the jury itsself.  For possession with intent to deliver and conspiracy, two five year sentences, to be served concurently, is not out of line with most states.  In fact, in some cases, the sentences could be much longer.  At the Federal level, for instance, the amount of drugs involved can factor into sentencing, as well as a whole host of other things.\n\nYou need to contact an attorney locally who can assist you in evaluating the sentence and can advise you on any recourse.  For a referral, contact your local or state bar association.

Depends on the state. Check your state's DMV website. And learn a lesson, will you? First time is an accident, second time is just plain stupid and that is exactly how a judge will look at it. Your second chance was to take the class but a second offense has you well on your way to habitual offender and you're back on a bike.

In the city or county of Denver adults 21+ can posess up to an oz. of marijuana. But state and federal law still override city ordinances. So the Sheriff's office along with the feds are still going to prosecute stoners.

It depends.  Controled substances like hydocodone is not a felony unless you have a HUGE qty.  However, even a trace of cocaine, meth, crack, ice, etc...is a felony.  After one gram, it becomes a 3rd felony....and it really starts snowballing fast after.\nBest advise?  Run like hell away from that stuff.  It will only hurt you and your loved ones.

I don;t think so. Why not try checking it at http://www.colorado.gov ? I think it's better if you make a phone call and ask the officials in the State

I believe access to property is an offense, as Colorado is a joint property state (both spouses equally own marital property such as a house).\n\nI would go to the District Attorney's office and file charges.  They should be able to best define the crime.

most states consider any contact to be a violation.  and yes it is possible he could go to jail but i highly doubt this. most cases like this come down to a he said she said kinda thing. best advise, telll him to dress nice, be honest, keep his temper, and check around and see if colorado has a free legal service of some kind most states do.  i hope everythin come out ok.

HI MJ- Unfortunately, the law states that he can be charged, regardless of his state at the time. The only defense would be temporary insanity, but that has not worked in the past for people who were unaware of their actions due to too much alcohol or illegal drugs, so it would not likely be usable in this case either.  What may happen is that he could plead to a lesser charge due to impaired judgment brought on by a combination of a small amount of alcohol in conjunction with a legal benzodiazepene (I assume here that he had this as a prescription, and was not taking it illegally)- However, even that is iffy, because all people given BZDs are strongly warned about taking it with alcohol, and on the bottle itself there are strong warnings.  If he were using the drug illegally, then that pretty much shoots down all defenses.  But, in the end, just because he did not remember, or even know what he was doing, does not mean he will not be held legally accountable-he definitely will...how strongly will depend on his past record, the reason he was using the BZD, and the severity of the crime.  Get a good lawyer and try to plead a lesser charge based on reduced judgment due to ignorance of the drug interaction effect.  I just hope the BZD was a prescription for him.  Good luck, MJ

Disregard my other answer.  It depends on the state.

Someone convicted of second-degree manslaughter can face up to 2, 3, or 4 years in a state prison (according to California law, which isn't that much different from Oregon law).  Under federal law,  whoever is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, shall be fined or imprisoned not more than six years, or both.  I think the minimum is a fine; I'm not sure of the amount.\n\nSecond-degree manslaughter is also known as involuntary manslaughter, which is refers to an unintentional killing that results from recklessness or criminal negligence, or from an unlawful act that is a misdemeanor or low-level felony (such as DUI).\n\nCheck out http://public.findlaw.com/ for more law information.

No, depending on the state, but here in COlorado once you file the DV charges, the state takes over and prosecute's. The only way you can "drop" them is if they go to court and he pleads not guilty, they will go to a jury trial, and all you have to do is not show up then there is no evidence, and nothing happens to you either.

Depends on the state but here it is for Colorado:\n\nBurglary - a person enters unlawfully or remains unlawfully in a building or occupied structure with the intent to commit a crime therein against another person or property\n\n1st degree - and while entering or while in the building, or in flight therefrom, assaults or menaces any person or is armed with explosives or deadly weapon\n\n2nd degree - burglary of a dwelling\n                     the objective of the theft is a controlled substance (legal drugs such as found in pharmacies)\n\n3rd degree - breaking into a vending machine, safe, cash register, coin vending maching, product dispenser, coin telephone etc\n\nHope that helps\n\n(p.s dollar amount has to do with theft, because burglary isn't just about money, it can include criminal mischief, theft, etc)
