Q: How much time will I get for Theft in the Second Degree and Trafficking stolen property in the Second degree?
I have never been to jail. Have a clean record. I want to find out what amount of time, if any I'll be looking at. And if I can drop these to misdemeanors
A:
If a person is convicted of both crimes, the standard sentence range is from three to eight months in jail.
It is certainly common that plea negotiations result in lesser charges, but to find out if that is a possibility in your individual case you should talk to a lawyer right away. They may have some advice that can help put you in a better situation.
