My question involves criminal law for the state of: my boyfriend was charged of attempt of carjacking and attempt of theft. I was wondering how many years he is looking for in jail.. Also his charge is for the 1st degree but this is his first time, i am just trying to find out how much time he is looking to get sentenced to. He had no weapons.
What state is this?
And why do you want to remain in a relationship with a guy who tries to commit violent crimes?!?! Where will that bring you in a couple of years?
As you were told when you posted, before you deleted the prompt reminding you to identify your state, laws are different in every state.
Go to Google, type "[state name] statutes", and odds are a link will show up for your state's statutes. Go to the statutes and look up the codes for the charges, and see how the statutes define the maximum possible sentence. You can also look for "[state name] sentencing guidelines" to see if your state has guidelines that could shed some light on a probable sentence.
You say "but this is his first time" - you mean his first time carjacking somebody? Because I doubt that it's his first time being charged with a crime. Is he in drug treatment yet?
