    Felony possession of a firearm
    If someone is charged with Felony of an fireaem and given the max. sentence of 15 years and a min. of 13 years. Do they always have to pull the entire sentence given if the firearm its self was not used in a crime. The firearm was in his possession 2 min. This person has been incarcerated 6 years and is deaf and is an insulin dependent diabetic. This person has been in lock down most of this time for his own protection. This sounds inhumane to me. Please help.

    Since he is already a felon he's not even suppose to have a gun so he automatically gets charged with possession of a firearm. He could get good time and shorten his time. There wasn't a plead bargin for him?

    He was not given a plea bargain. The judge told us it carried a mnatory 15 year sentence. He broke into a house and took this gun but was stopped outside the house where he told the policeman that he was deaf and that he had the gun. Shook the gun out of his jeans and stood back away from the gun.
