Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

maximum punishment for transporting drugs

Someone has a prior felony in 1988 for selling drugs. The same person was recently arrested in Chicago while debarking an iternational flight from Amsterdam with drugs in his posession. I belive it was hash.

My question is with a prior felony and if convicted what is the estimated maximum and minimum time this person would serve in jail or prison.

Re: maximum punishment for transporting drugs

It is difficult to estimate a range of punishment without knowing a great deal more information than you have posted in the question. And email is too cumbersome to really discuss these things, anyway. I suggest that you or that person have a consultation with a criminal lawyer in Chicago, where the laws are different than in California. Most criminal lawyers give free consultations. Good luck.
