(prHWY.com) January 20, 2013 - Florida, FL -- Florida, Jan 19, 2013 - Depending on the crime you have committed, any of the following punishments can be attached to it: Understanding what is at stake for these crimes, you need to now learn how your sentence will be determined.
Federal Prison Sentences - In most cases, the judge will determine what your sentence will be. While your criminal defense lawyer may offer a statement on your behalf, they have no say in what actually happens to you once the trial has ended. In some cases a jury is required to determine your punishment, especially in cases where capital punishment is sought. A judge cannot impose these conditions without the jury recommending it.
In a criminal defense case, many of the laws broken have a punishment attached to them. In some cases, the Federal Government has offered states guidelines for sentencing based on the crimes that are committed. These can include fines that are recommended, as well as jail time that could be appropriate.
Despite their optional nature, as your criminal defense attorney will let you know, many judges tend to follow them. In some cases, the eight amendment of does stipulate additional requirements that a judge must follow and that is where cruel and unusual punishment is forbidden and that can be a tricky area. By definition this would be any punishment that would become excessive for the crime that was committed or seem excessive by the views of most people.
Rdap Eligibility - An inmate is eligible for a halfway house with 10% remaining on their sentence or 6 months in the case that 10% is greater than 6 months. Halfway house time is based on actual time served, not on the total duration of the sentence. Once an inmate becomes eligible for a halfway house, he or she is in no way guaranteed immediate placement. However, especially on sentences of over 12 months, some halfway house time can be expected. Halfway house time is extremely rare on sentences of less than 6 months.
The second element behind this phenomenon is the efficiency of federal prosecutions. Faced with the threat of a draconian sentence length, a higher percentage of defendants plead guilty to crimes rather than face the risk of trial.
