Re: guilty plea to 3 counts mail fraud

The maximum penalty for fraud is likely 30 years in prison. However, the presumptive sentence may depend on whether there is any past criminal record. It may also depend on whether it is a cstate or federal case. Federal penalties tend to be much more severe. It may also depend on whether there are mitigating facts.
