People v. LH
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. While fighting the case, the police served a search warrant at our Client's Residence and recovered additional narcotics. Our Client was charged with an additional Felony case of Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Delivery. Because of the amount of narcotics on the 2nd case, our Client was facing a mandatory prison sentence of 3-7 years. Because our Client picked up the 2nd case while on Bond for the 1st case, he would be required to serve mandatory CONSECUTIVE prison sentences for the 2 cases. Because of our Client's felony history, he was facing an extended term sentence of 1-6 years on the first case. In total our Client was facing 4-13 years in prison for the 2 cases. We were able to successfully negotiate a deal for our Client for a reduced charge on the Possession with Intent case. The prosecution agreed to a sentence recommendation of 1+1 for a total of 2 years in prison instead of 4-13 years in prison. Our Client couldn't refuse such a great deal. He will be out in just a few short months!
