What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado.
I will spare you the details, since I don't think it will make much of a difference. I was recently arrested for felony menacing. I got into an argument with my girlfriend while holding a knife. I was highly emotional, but not intending to cause harm or fear. She did not want me to get arrested. I have no prior anything, and have cooperated as best I could so far. I am out on bail right now, and I am just wondering what I might expect when I go to court. I KNOW that I COULD face jail time, but I've heard both outcomes from many different people. Some say that I will have barely any sentence, and others say I could face 8 years in prison. So what do you think will be the most likely or common outcome for this type of case?
