There is always a chance. Usually on a guilty plea the prosecutor is very reasonable. However there is a 25 year mandatory for certain cases and if he goes to trial the 25 year mando may apply. I would need a lot more facts. But like i said there is usually an offer lower then the 25 year mando and if its just possession and not distribution or production they are usually reasonable.
