Will a person convicted on his second felony be sent to prison?
447337
Most drug offenders who are sent to prison are either convicted of Class B offenses (e.g. the sale of any amount of cocaine, regardless of how small) or are second felony offenders convicted of offenses in Classes B-E. The Drug Law Reform Act commendably expands the sentencing options for a first-time Class B offense to include a split sentence of prison and probation. But the lowest sentence that could be imposed on a second felony offender convicted of a Class B felony is a sentence of two and one-half to five years in prison, unless the offender is eligible for diversion to a substance abuse treatment program. In many cases, such a prison sentence would be excessive, yet the Act does not permit a shorter sentence. Nor does it permit alternatives to incarceration for offenders who are not addicted and do not qualify for substance abuse treatment programs. \n\nIf mandatory prison terms are to be retained, the Act should be amended to further reduce the minimum sentences, giving judges a wider sentencing range from which to select the appropriate sentence.

Yes, it depends on the laws of the state where you are tried and sentenced.  And if you, or someone you know, was arrested for that, you'd need to know a few more details bfore you could get much of annswer.

nothing, our system of law says that a person cannot be tried twice for the same case, double jeopardy or autrefois acquit (French for 'previously acquitted'), so even though he confessed he would have to be charged on another offense. He could be jailed for perjury, a serious offense but not on murder charges.

Yes he/she is put in a local jail until the first appearence. Then its decided whether bond is necessary or not. If not then he/she will remain in jail until a plea bargain or trial is arranged. If a plea bargain is aranged and excepted then he/she is taken to prison know as General Population. If a trial is going to be set then he/she will be in jail or prison depending on when the trial begins.

The idea that he is being charged with a previous charge is not correct.  when a person is placed on probation/supervision(depending on the charge and the state)\n\nPart of a person's porbation is to abide by the law, not violate any other laws and to do what the original court order says.  \n\nOften times these orders say report to probation at their request, inform probation department of your current address, do randome urine drops, DNA testing(usually in ore serious cases)etc.\n\nWhen probation discovers that these elements have not beel followed, they issue what is called(again the "words" vary by state) a "petition to revoke".  this is sent to the prosecutor's office who in turn files it with the circuit clerk and a notice is sent.(possibly a warrant depending on how serious the origial crime was)\n\nthe probationer is called into court and if the state can prove any of the elements in the petition to revoke, the probationer can be re-sentenced on the original charge.  \n\nAs for how long he will need to serve...well the most he can be sentenced for is the maximum of the original charge.  Now of coruse he can also be charged/convicted of the new offense which may have a jail/prison term also, but most courts run sentences concurrently.

The original sentence would have been a period of time probated for two years. If, during those two years, he seriously violated his probation by committing a new crime, he is looking at serving the remainder of that sentence PLUS any time for the new crime.

It depends on if he was convicted before.  First offense is usually 30 days in jail, a hefty fine and suspension of the driver's license.  Community service might be required as well.  \n\nOther effects can include an instant jump in insurance rates, loss of commercial driver licenses, and manditory drug/alcohol abuse counciling.

In Missouri a second degree assault is considered a class C felony.  The punishment is "not to exceed 7 years."  So basically the maximum prison sentence is 7 years.  As it is a first offense they probably won't seek the maximum.  There is always the chance that you'll have a good judge, or that the DA will offer you a plea bargain.  GOOD LUCK!

That depends on what the one prior conviction was for. Assault with and deadly weapon, 245(a)(1) PC, is a potential felony for you. The sentence will really depend on if you caused any injury to the person and, if none, what the potential injury could have been. \n\nYour prior conviction could come into play if it was an assault or other type of violent crime. Ultimately, the judge will decide what you will get. No one here on this board can tell you.

depends if its a misdimenor or a felony.....but most of the time no.....

The answer is NO.  The fine is only part of the sentence; probation is another.\n\nIf he's still on probation and being charged with a felony offense, probation and paying off a fine are the least of his worries.\n\nIf this is a boyfriend, cut your losses now and get out of there.

One year most likely.  The punishment is enforced more stringently when it is due to a probation/parole violation.  It's meant to set an example/send a message when one exhibits disregard for the conditions and terms established by the court.  Violations are not treated favorably!  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news by the way.  Hope for the best but plan and expect the worst!  Good luck

depends on the court order accompanying the felony conviction.  Some felons can hold fiduciary jobs during the time of their probation, etc. Everyone's different.

Yes, but you need to go to the court system that the felony is recorded under and plead your case as to why it should be expunged. It is very difficult to do and most people that try, fail.
