Question: I have a second possession of meth charge court date coming up, and i served 9 months in jail before i made bond. will i get credit for time served, and could i get time served for the 9 months if the offer is a 5year do 2 year recomendation, and not have to serve any more time?

Answer: You will get credit for the time that you have served. The judge is free to give you a sentence of 5 to do 2 years with credit for the 9 months, commuted to time-served. You may not have to do anymore time. Are those the real questions? Because you know the judge can give you two years of probation. Conversely, under the law for the 2nd meth possession charge the judge must sentence you to not less than 5 years, and can sentence you up to 30 years. I assume you don't want to talk or think about the 30 years. I advice you to get an attorney rather than hope for the best, but I will be here IF it goes sideways to try and undo the horrible sentence.
