Sentencing Questions-Guidelines

I would like to know what the sentencing guidelines are in NY for prior and non-prior class c felonies. Also, can intermittent sentences (like jail weekends) be given in a non violent nonprior or non violent prior? Thanks.

The answer to this question depends on a number of variables. It cannot be properly answered without further information concerning the nature of the "C" felony in question. New York has a classification system for felonies.

This system labels felonies as either violent or non-violent. Sentencing parameters are connected to the present category of felony, as well as prior felony convictions. You should speak to counsel about your particular circumstances. Please let us know if we can be of service.
