Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: Drug Crimes

Yes, it could be accurate, as under current sentencing guidelines which now supposedly have eliminated the penalty distinction between crack and powder cocaine, a charge under federal law of conspiring to distribute 500g or more of cocaine could still result in a sentence somewhere in the

range of 188 to 235 months.

Your husband, however, to be sure, should ask his defense counsel to clarify as to precisely what was stated in this regard at his arraignment.
