A:
The maximum term of supervised release for a federal conviction of conspiracy to distribute under 100 grams of heroin depends on various factors, including the specific details of your case and your criminal history. Generally, supervised release terms for drug offenses can range from 3 to 5 years, but there are circumstances where it can be longer.
In your case, being a career offender likely influenced the length of your supervised release. While 6 years might seem excessive, it is within the legal framework given your status and the nature of the offense. It's important to discuss your case with your attorney to understand if there are grounds for appeal or adjustment based on the specifics of your situation.
Regarding the classification of your conviction, conspiracy to distribute under 100 grams of heroin is typically considered a Class C felony under federal law. This classification affects the sentencing guidelines and the severity of the penalties imposed. For more precise guidance, consulting with a legal expert who can review your case details would be beneficial.
