What happens if you get charged with a class 5 felony in Virginia?

Answer 1

**The person people gave you a textbook answer that is absolutely true in Va. However I'm going to give you some extra details as to how sentencing often works. 1)one may ask if you're currently a convicted felon (have you been found guilty of something (felony wise before this)? This mean you qualify for the first offenders program offered in va. 2)If the following above is true, then one wouldn't serve time...just be on supervised probation for a year or maybe more. And If that person kept their noise clean and do what the judge says....The felony may be expunged from one's record. P.s. I wrote this in 3rd person, so others can read it to, and it you're just writing a paper this is useful information. (sentencing isn't always by the book, circumstances matter).
