What type of sentence do you face for a cocaine delivery charge?

Unlawful delivery of cocaine is a serious felony charge.  Often the charge results in a prison sentence.  The two primary factors which will factor into a sentence are the amount of cocaine involved and the criminal history of the defendant.  Cases involving more that 100 grams of cocaine usually result in substantial prison sentences.  See ORS 475.925(2)(a).
