My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
When the wording of a statute involves "presumption of a prison term," does that have the same meaning as mandatory? Or is it closer in meaning to "expectation of a prison term unless there factors indicating otherwise?"
In particular, if I were charged with three offenses with a presumption of a prison term, although no "mandatory" prison time associated with said offenses, and have no prior arrests or charges, what sort of sentence would be likely? Further information to help you answer this questions includes the following:
No prior arrests or charges
No violent or sexual charges
All charges are drug charges, two trafficking offenses(heroin, one f3 and one f4) and two possession offenses (heroin, one f3 and one f4)
No guns, or other specifications
Current Member of the dean's list as a full-time student a local, accredited college
Attending a treatment program (again, mental health board accredited) with multiple clean random drug tests (the treatment program is not court-mandated, at least at the moment)
Cooperating with my reporting bond (also, I was recognized on 2 f3's and 2 f4's, for which I was lucky and thankful) including clean drug tests
Letters from six professors (one of whom is a sherriff, and another who is a 22 year veteran of the adult parole authority) indicating participation, attendance, and good exam scores in their classes
To recap, if found guilty (which I feel would be likely if I don't receive an offer that I find acceptable), what sanctions would be likely, in your experiences (I know they would be guesses, but they would help me to prepare as well as put me at ease; ranges of sanctions would also be helpful; so would percentage statistics based upon your experience)?
What, if any(as a result of pretty strong evidence), would offers from the prosecution consist of, in terms of sanctions (prison, jail, community control, etc.)? Again, ranges, percentage chances of different result, etc. are all helpful, and I know they would just be guesses. Thanks, and I really appreciate the help.
