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.

more than likely you will have to go to jail and serve the rest of your time there. unless you get a lawyer and have them work something out with you to where u do work/community service program. but it really depends on your state and county. i know that some smaller counties are more strict then some larger counties and some smaller counties are less strict unlike some larger counties

you may get a lesser sentence if it's a first offense, but i have to say if you were my kid i wouldn't pay for your lawyer.  good luck.

It doesn't matter,even if you are 6 months apart, if one of you is over 18 they can go to jail for being with a minor. It happend to my son, who was only 6 months old than his 17  girlfriend and he still went to jail for dating a minor.

As a minor, you should have an advocate assigned to you. Petition the judge with a politely written letter.\n\nThe situation is not easy, and in many states Child services is a chronic scandal occasionally rising to the level of criminality.

Yes it can be lowered to a misdemeanor, and then later you can ask for expungement. The other alternative is to have the Governor pardon you. Mitch Daniels will never do that so forget it.

I am in law enforcement in Maine. The punishment depends on a number of things, including the discretion of the court, your criminal history and the nature of the crime. I encourage you to call the (non-emergency line of) your local police department and you can ask anonymously what sentence that statute holds. I will tell you that officers HATE to take these calls, because there is such a variance from crime to crime and person to person, so you won't get a specific answer, only a possibility.

if I'm not mistaken, petty theft/misdemeanor retail theft (a.k.a. shoplifting) is a class "C" misdemeanor, in which case the "suspect" be fined as much as $1500; in this case it would provably be less than that because of the low value of the item. In more serious offences a 30 day jail sentence may also be given in addition to the fine. How tough the sentence is rests largely on how favorable the judge that tries the case is. If it's their first offence, the judge is most likely to grant probation.

CASE IS UNDER TRAIL AND HE MUST BE PUNISHED ACCORDING TO LAW.

Your best bet is to call local law enforcement. If he his truly AWOL then he will be picked up and brought to jail. He will wait for extradition to the post to which he is assigned. As far as the abuse I would do the same thing. After the Army gets him they can try him for abuse or let the civilian courts take care of that.\nEither way contact local law enforcement.

depending on the state and judge is what counts. In california many are given a citation with a court date.If minor has no prior history of possesion he could be given a fine to pay and/or community service.But dont worry about that start worrying of re ridding the use of the drug and the addiction

It would depend upon many factors.  Anything from a community order for a youthful offender where no weapon was shown and little violence was involved to 12 or more years custody where serious injury to the victim occurred is possible.

You will more than likely have to pay for the damages that you did and have to do some kind of community service; you may also have to go to jail also, although they will put you in juvenile detention and now you will also have a criminal record. Good job...I think what you and your friends did is totally uncalled for and you deserve whatever the Judge gives you. Maybe you'll think twice about it the next time you're going to do something that stupid!

well that will depend on what jurisdiction you are in at the time.  basically in most jurisdictions it is a felony and the minor can be a compounding factor (making it worse)\n\n\nThat should be worth 10 points!
