What's the sentence for felony man. of marijuana w/ intent to distribute? Can we use the first time offenders? Will it help?

With 110 plants you are likely looking at jail time. Manufacture of marijuana is 1-10 years. You would be elidgible for 16-13-2 (drug first offender) or regular first offender. It will be up to the judge to decide to let you enter a plea to first offender (and assuming you have little to no criminal history).

Statr by calling the court to see if you can get it reduced over the phone to 79 mph. If you can't, go to court and negotiate with the prosecutor. If they still will not reduce, hire a local attorney.

Im on probation for 6 months but i got arrested for traffic violations what can i do to stay out of jail?

If you are on reporting proabtion and the second incident resulted in you being arrested and your fingerprints taken, it is likely the proabation officer will find out about the secind incident. In this situation, I would hire an attorney. The attorney may be able to contact the probation officer and schedule a walk in hearing in front of the judge. A walk in hearing with a VERY good excuse for driving may allow you to avoid jail time.
