You Have a Lot to Lose if Convicted of a Crime in Spartanburg
In South Carolina, if you’re convicted or plead guilty to the offense you’re accused of, the penalties can vary significantly based on the specific circumstances and nature of the crime and your defense strategy’s strength. However, note that if there’s a mandatory minimum sentence for your charge, the judge cannot commute the sentence.
For instance, the mandatory minimum sentence for murder is 30 years. You can only avoid this sentence by having your case dismissed, getting acquitted, pretrial negotiations, or changing or reducing the charges against you. On top of lengthy prison time and costly fines, home confinement or probation, and alcohol or drug counseling programs, a criminal conviction can likewise trigger severe collateral consequences.
For example, a DUI conviction can result in license suspension or revocation. In contrast, a sex crime conviction will require you to register in the state’s sex offender registry, negatively affecting your work, housing, and personal relationships. You will also lose your right to possess a firearm or vote in elections. In addition, if you’re not a U.S. citizen, you risk deportation and other immigration consequences if you get convicted.
