Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Will I serve jail time on my first arrest for shooting at occupied vehicle
4 Answers from Attorneys
Whether or not you will serve jail time if you are convicted of shooting a firearm at an occupied vehicle depends upon the recommendations to the court from the probate department before sentencing. Ordinarily under California law if you actually struck the vehicle with a projectile causing great bodily damage, you would be sentenced to jail if convicted.
Based upon what you have written, I suggest that you immediately consult with a criminal defense attorney to represent you in the matter that you have written about.
Probably -- if you're convicted. This is not a minor crime.
You need to get a lawyer right away. If you can't afford to hire one, the court will appoint a public defender for you.
Good luck.
On an arrest, no.
On conviction, quite possibly.
Suggest you hire a good criminal defense attorney.
If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
I think you may even be looking at state prison time.
