How much time in jail is too much to serve?
916954
Any time is too much.  You haven't given any thought to your future.  It's bad enough you'll have probation on your permanent record but not as bad as jail time.  Think about finding a job, taking out a loan, renting an apartment, or buying a house or car.  All of these things will be effected by your past.  Bite the bullet and do the probation on your best behavior.  You'll be better satisfied with life afterwards.

Rebeka M,\nI'm not kidding, you are looking at jail time if you don't make good on those tickets. One day someone is going to knock on your door with a warrant for your arrest, I'm not kidding. They will only give you so much time to show up and then it's to late. Hope you have a good excuse to give to the judge. Take care of those tickets now as soon as possible.\nTDCWH

Is he guilty?  If he's still in jail from 1979 - it must have been pretty heinous.  I vote you leave him there until he's finished serving his time.

It depends on what their sentence is.  That is up to the courts.  \nFor instance... i was put on probation for felony prescription fraud for 3 years with deferred adjudicaton.  However, after doing 1.5 years i petitioned the courts to grant early release based on my performance.  I was really serious (and still am) about leading the clean life and steering clear of trouble now, and my comm officer knew that.  \n\nUnfortunately, regardless of whether my sentence was deferred i still have to check "yes" in that little box that asks "have you ever been arrested?" on an employment form.  \n\nIt's a hard lesson learned that will follow me for the rest of my life.\n\nThe way i understand it is, i will have to wait another 5 years to have the "arrest" not show up anymore... if i am lucky... and that is a big if.\n\nMoral of the story... stay away from drugs.

Depends on the charges.  He could get brig time for years.  If they only recommend BCD, he'll be out in six or eight months.  If it's just a threat they are using right now...  He'll probably wind up serving his full term.  The easiest way out is to fulfill your contract honorably.  Less stress makes it seem faster.

Probably the 60 days, and any remaining jail time from the DUI, plus whatever you get from these last charges. In other words, total of all jail time sentenced to, less jail time served.

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.

Mandatory minimums in sentencing do not help society... Determining appropriate punishment and duration of prison terms is something for Judges to do, not for the District Attorney's office to decide at the time of filing charges.\nMinimum sentencing requirements can backfire and lead to juries finding "Not Guilty" in cases where a "Guilty " verdict would be right just because the accused is young, or likeable or the jury for some reason does not want to see that person sentenced to life.\nLet the DA file charges\nLet the Jury determine Guilt or Innocence\nand\nLet Judges decide sentencing.\nPlease take our criminal justice system out of the hands of politicians.

Man, I hate to tell you this, but depending on the judge, the DA and your PO's attitude, you can go to jail on one violation...you do have a right to counsel, excercise that right.

Suspended sentence with about 2 to 3 years probation.\n  Next time you will serve time for real.

If somebody wants to commit a crime, The punishment is a detterent to prevent such a move. I agree with you that there is no guarantee that after serving the required sentence, s/he will be a reformed person.Definitely, s/he feels isolated socially but we can,t let him go scot free otherwise more and more people feel inclined to indulge in such activities.

Yes and no. If he continues to waive time or he and his lawyer ask for more time to resolve pre-trial issues, it will take as long as it takes. There have been people who have been in county jail for as long as 7 years. That person was found guilty of a felony and senteced to time served. (Back story was he had a contract out on his life and knew that he would be killed in prison. So, he delayed and delayed until he had been there 7 years. Smart criminal.)\n\n\nCharles Ng, a serial murderer in CA, used his knowledge of the law to delay his murder trail 13 years!!! Pretty gruesome, but read about him and his trail here:\n\nhttp://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/predators/ng/call_1.html

With the amount that you were found with, you will not be nailed with intent to distribute, which is a VERY good thing.  You may have to do some community service and maybe serve some probation, but as far as jail time is concerned it is probably not going to happen.\n\nStay sober my good friend!!

You are looking at time in jail or huber.  What you did what just plain stupid and you should know better.  No one is going to give you any pity at all for this.  Especially not a judge.  You continue to do the crime, now you get to do the time.  Enjoy.  You brought this on yourself.

No one can answer this question with certainty because of the plea bargaining process.  His sentence (if he is convicted) could range from probation to prison time.  It just depends on what plea arrangement he works out, or what a judge/jury sentences him to.

Possession of less than one gram is a "\nstate jail felony," the lowest level of felony. This is punishable by 180 days to 2 years in prison and up to $10,000. It is a third degree felony if you have ever been convicted of a felony before, meaning that your punishment would be 2 to 10 years and a fine up to $10,000.
