Fighting the Penalties of a Drug Distribution Conviction

For a prosecutor to prove a drug distribution charge, they not only have to prove that you had possession of a controlled substance, but they also have to prove that you sold or were going to give or sell the drug to another person. Sometimes this is proven through scales, burner phones, baggies, and other items were also found with the drugs.

The possible sentencing for a first-time charge of possession with intent to distribute, or of distribution of a controlled substances depends on the drug involved:

• For Class A (heroin, fentanyl, ketamine) and most Class B drugs (ecstasy, LSD): Up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine
• For Class B drugs cocaine, crack, and meth: A mandatory minimum sentence of 1 year in jail, with up 10 years and a $10,000 fine possible
• For Class C hallucinogens: Up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine
• For Class D drugs (barbiturates, inhalants, marijuana): Up to 2 years in jail and a $5,000 fine

If a defendant has prior distribution convictions, then higher mandatory minimums are often required, and maximum penalties are also raised. Any penalties can be enhanced if you're convicted of distribution or intent to distribute to a minor.
