what is the sentence on a 1st time felony?

Answer 1

Depends totally on the Judge, the felony, the plea agreement (if any), and the minimum sentencing laws for the offense.

Answer 2

Depends on the state, and in some cases, the felony. In most states, whatever the crime is (plus your criminal history) determines your sentence -- either determinate (i.e. the judge sentences you to a specific amount of time) or indeterminate (i.e. the judge sentences you to incarceration "not to exceed 20 years" and lets the parole board determine when you're out). Some states have "sentencing guidelines"--grids that help (or mandate) the judge determine your sentence.
But, of course, the nature of your felony makes a big difference. A murder (a felony) gets a higher sentence than assault with a deadly weapon (also a felony), which would likely get a higher sentence than possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute. Some states do this by "class" -- that is, lumping like felonies into 3, 4, 5 or so classes (i.e. "class I felony" "class II felony"). Some states do it by individual crime, based on the guidelines.

If you're facing exposure to a felony level prosecution, you have a right to counsel. Get counsel from theCourt if you cannot afford an attorney and ask the attorney this question.
