Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: Arson and Conspiracy

Not enough information to answer this question. What is alleged to have been set on fire? Bottom line is that these are both felony charges, but the class of felony, and hence potential punishment, depends on facts you have not provided. Additionally, if you were to be convicted on one or both of these charges, sentencing guidelines would be run to determine the range of years the court would have to choose from to sentence you. These guidelines take into account a number of factors, including the crimes convicted, previous record, employment and social history, etc.

Re: Arson and Conspiracy

The one who may be (or already is)subject to these charges should take up this inquiry with the competent defense counsel who surely must already be representing him or her.
