TRAFFICKING
Cocaine Trafficking in Massachusetts
Cocaine trafficking in Massachusetts is the possession with the intent to distribute or the actual distribution of a certain amount of cocaine, a Class B substance in Massachusetts.
Sentences for trafficking in cocaine are harsher than those for marijuana. They are mandated by the State of Massachusetts. An aggressive defense by an experienced Massachusetts Criminal Drug Defense Lawyer is without question your best and only option.
For at least 14 grams but less than 28 grams, the Court must impose a mandatory three (3) year state prison sentence.
If you are convicted of trafficking 28 grams but less than 100 grams of cocaine, Massachusetts requires a five (5) year mandatory state prison sentence
For trafficking at least 100 grams and less than 200 grams of cocaine, the mandatory sentence is ten (10) years in state prison.
Trafficking 200 grams or more of cocaine mandates a fifteen (15) year state prison sentence.
