6 months in jail?? does this seem right for a first offense?

6 months is STILL a reasonable sentence for a felony offense.

Only the judge himself would have any insight into whether that would change his mind or not.

Well I will tell you this, having brass knuckles in the state of CA is automatically a violation of 12020pc possession of a prohibited weapon which could give you up to 12 months of jail since it is a felony. Add the intent to sell charge and I say 6 months in county jail is a good sentence for a first offender. Regardless of what you are doing after the fact, you did violate your state laws which will have consequences. I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but there is truth in it.

extra beneficial carry out a little extra checking. oftentimes, judges do not "grant" something. A DA can grant a plea good purchase and it ought to or won't comprise sentencing concessions, yet judges in basic terms tell human beings of the aptitude effects of the plea. What you're able to wish to think approximately are the aptitude effects in case you stand trial on all available rates. As to the sentence, if the prosecutor is waiting to tutor the actual motive to distribute, I have not have been given any difficulty with a 6 month penitentiary sentence. Or a era of years, for that count number.

Possession is enough, but then you had Brass Knuckles on. Those are considered a weapon. Many States outlaw them. Then the worse of all three is: Intent to Sell. Your a Drug Dealer. You can Thank your Lucky Stars it wasn't more time. College Kid , what classes have you skipped ? Wise up or you won't be able to finish College. You can try while incarcerated. But it doesn't count. I am Thankful, your not my kid .

It does seem a bit harsh. If you did not have the brass knuckles it probably would not have been as bad. But hey you were stupid enough to being doing illegal drugs in the first place. Deal with the concequences and do your time and learn your lesson.

the judge offered you time before trial. you mean the prose cuter. under 4 oz. in ct is a $1000.00 fine. did you have it broke up? if you did its a $25,000 dollar fine and 0-7 years. brass knuckles are illegal in ct. ct. is well known as a bad state for weapons. they routinely pull over out of state plates during hunting season. whats your lawyer say?

Well, in the county I live, that is very light. I know a friend who got 90 days for selling a quarter bag...first offense. If you lived here your sentence would be worse than that. I would be happy with it.

If you were not already tried, demand a jury trial.

You should be confiding all of this with your lawyer. Also, just because the jails are overcrowded where you live does not mean they won't stuff you in somewhere. Jails are overcrowded everywhere and people keep getting sent to them, that's why they are overcrowded.

Some judges are corrupt and send people to private jails and get kickbacks. Check to see if this happened to you.
