A: There is no "normal," as sentencing takes into consider a wide array of factors, including past criminal history, age, employment, nature and aggravating circumstances of the case, victim impact, the defendant's actions to address any substance abuse or emotional/mental issues that may underly his/her actions, etc. The specific county, judge and prosecutor can make a difference as well. A non-violent first offender can generally hope for probation and no conviction. Consult a lawyer in private to go over the details and factors in your case, and do not post further details on this or any other public forum.
