That means generally you can't get long consecutive sentences that add up to more than 2 years (16 months of city time). Fines too are discretionary (though surcharges which apply per case not per count are mandatory). The max on the "a' misd's is a year, the max on the b, 90 days. Generally, at least in the city, a jail sentence for a first time misdemeanor offender is very rare.Indefensiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06060635220496355426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152963.post-89013067314384950192008-04-02T10:46:00.000-04:002008-04-02T10:46:00.000-04:00What about multiple (4) class A misdemeanors and o...What about multiple (4) class A misdemeanors and one class B, with no priors?
