Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona

My husband is being charged with 4 counts of aggrivated assault w/ deadly weapon, 1 count 2cd degree burglury, 1 count poss of drug paraph., and 1 count of poss. Dangerous drugs. He's taking his case to trial because the only plea that has been offered was 12 to 17 years flat. They said if he loses and they stack the sentences, he could get up to 86 years. If he does lose, what are the chances of the judge stacking his sentences?

It sounds like your husband probably already has an attorney who would know the facts much better than an attorney on this forum. You should consult your husband's attorney for a more informed answer. Arizona has a sentencing structure that does permit consecutive ("stacked") sentences, and whether or not that is likely to happen turns on the facts of the case.

The answer would depend upon the specific facts in your husband's case, his role, the number of victims, and many other considerations that should be discussed with an experienced criminal defense attorney. Best of luck!
