The sentencing procedure in the state of New Jersey involves a number of different factors: your prior arrest record, the charge against you, whether you crossed state lines to commit the crime, whether there are enhancements that can be introduced, the value of any property stolen, the amount and kind of drugs found on you, and several other issues. However, the court may be willing to take into consideration your age, any history you have of mental illness, drug or alcohol addiction, and what factors were involved in the crime you committed. Working with an experienced criminal defense attorney is essential in reducing the charges or sentence against you.
