Video – Attorney Andrew Dósa Answers The Question: What Is Split Sentencing?

Andrew Dósa – Criminal Defense Attorney – Alameda County, CA

“There is this other idea called ‘split sentencing.’ For instance, a client of mine just recently got sentenced. He had three prior possession for sale cases. He got a fourth, and our triumph is that he got the exact same sentence for his fourth conviction that he got for his third conviction. A six-year deal, where he had to do two years in county jail, not state prison. So, he was in long enough to do his one year, and then the other four years hangs over his head as probation and not parole.”
