What is his prior record like? In Delaware County, they are likely to throw the book at him if he takes this to Trial. (and rightfully so). If he has any prior Felony convictions, you can expect that he will do State time. If not, 11 1/2 to 23 months in County Prison is likely. Rehab doen’t do anything, the Courts are sick an tired of people using drug addiction as an excuse to commit crime.

If he pleads he might get 10 but he would do like 5. But if he lose trail he could face 25
