A:
This charge is a Class Y Felony. This is the highest felony in Arkansas. Up to %15,000 in fines and 10 to 40 or life in prison. Typically, though, and depending on the charges, an offer of 10 years will usually be made by the prosecutor. A good lawyer might win the case. If not, a lawyer can get the prosecutor to agree to 8 years.
