Potential Penalties
Depending on the circumstances of your case, potential penalties vary widely. You may be charged in federal or state court, depending on what type of crime you’ve been accused of. In most cases, internet crimes like hacking are charged as misdemeanors when no one has been injured as a result of time crime, and less than $950 worth of services or software has been affected. Even if you are charged with a misdemeanor, up to a year of jail time is possible if a conviction is issued for your case. Misdemeanor internet crime penalties also carry with them a fine of up to $5,000. Felony internet crime penalties can result in up to 3 years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000. California law is pretty harsh when it comes to internet crime penalties.
Ideal outcomes
There are many potentially favorable outcomes in hacking cases. One is that the prosecutor for your case will offer a plea bargain that will reduce the charge and the penalties you’ll have to face. You might even be able to avoid jail time. Another ideal outcome would be to go to trial, where Attorney Chambers will prove that the evidence against you bears no weight, resulting in a dismissal of the hacking charge. Optimal outcomes also include the possibility of a conviction with a reduced length of jail time and fines. There are so many possibilities that vary according to the circumstances of each case.
What will be the outcome of your case?
Internet crime sentences, such as those for hacking, don’t have much legal precedent since the internet has only been in existence for a few decades, so just about anything is possible in your hacking case.
