Cocaine & Crack Charges Lawyer in Orlando
Today cracking down on powder and crack cocaine is a priority of law enforcement and prosecutors in Florida. Anyone caught selling, purchasing, distributing, or manufacturing cocaine can face stern penalties. Even being caught with a trace of cocaine can turn your personal and professional life upside down.
Under Florida State law, possession of 28 grams or more of cocaine is regarded as trafficking. If you are convicted of possession of 28 grams or more, but less than 200 grams, there is a minimum mandatory of 3 years in prison and a $50,000 fine. The penalties increase with the amount of cocaine. For example, if you are caught in possession of 200 grams or more but less than 400 grams, the minimum penalty is 7 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. For 400 grams but less than 150 kilograms the minimum term of imprisonment is 15 years and a fine of $250,000.
Under Federal Law, the penalties for crack cocaine are far harsher than for powder cocaine. For possession of 50 grams of crack cocaine, the term of imprisonment can be anywhere between ten years to a lifetime. The punishment is more severe if the accused has past drug convictions or criminal history.
