Penalties for crystal meth charges are often based on factors including:
- The amount involved in meth possession charges
- The defendant’s prior convictions
- The intent to sell the drug
- If manufacturing meth charges are involved
If a person is facing crystal meth possession charges with the intent to sell, he or she may face up to 10 years in jail as well as fines between $1,000 and $10,000. For defendants who have one prior conviction, the minimum jail sentence rises to three and a half years and higher fines, and any subsequent convictions will raise the penalty again. Manufacturing meth charges are also quite severe. The Worcester and Springfield criminal defense attorneys at Murphy & Rudolf, LLP can use an extensive knowledge of the legal system to seek a reasonable penalty through a fair trial.

Understanding Crystal Meth Addictions
Due to the highly addictive nature of crystal meth, those who try the drug often find themselves addicted. Furthermore, those who are addicted will often do whatever it takes to obtain the drug by any means necessary, often resulting in theft, robbery, or assault charges.

Crystal meth addiction is strong and carries harsh withdrawal symptoms, including severe depression. Due to the severity of withdrawal, it is always recommended that the detox process be observed by a medical professional to ensure that a person remains in good health, especially if the person is not in good physical condition due to long-term use. Our Worcester county criminal defense attorneys can handle the legal issues of your drug crime case, and we strive to provide a stress-free experience for our clients.
