Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

The honest answer is that no attorney can predict the outcome, nor even give an intelligent opinion, without reviewing and knowing all the charges, evidence, police reports, expected testimony, priors history, defenses, sympathies, etc. However, yes,, your priors and strikes will be considered for enhancement. If you are still on probation or parole, that is a real problem for you. You'd better take this much more seriously than a 1st timer.

Mr. Nelson is correct. But if you are no longer on parole, you cannot be sent to state prison on a misdemeanor. If you are on parole they may violate your parole and either send you to state prison or jail in lieu of prison. Certainly your record will be used against you. Of course you can be incarcerated in the county jail for the misdemeanor regardless of whether or not you are on parole.
