Question

If a suspect is in possession of 20 grams of cocaine how many ounces does he possess what will the charge be

Answer 1

20 g of cocaine is approximately 0.705 ounces he will be charged with possession with intent to distribute

Answer 2

a) 0.705479 oz

b) Over 1/2 oz Class B felony

Firstly, let's make the conversion from grams to ounces, knowing : 1g= 0.03527oz

$20g\frac{0.03527oz}{1g}$$20g\frac{0.03527oz}{1g} = 0.705479oz$

New York State uses the measures given on the table below to charge a suspect:  

Amount           Charge  

Over 1/8 oz.     Class C felony  

Over 1/2 oz.     Class B felony  

Over 2 oz.      Class A-II felony  

Over 4 oz.      Class A-I felony

From this table, the suspect has over 1/2 oz and the charge is Class B felony.
