Aggravating factors in Maryland drug distribution cases that would enhance penalties might be a person’s criminal history and the kind of drug that they were distributing. It will be important to understand which schedule of the drug was in the case, whether it was a drug like marijuana or a drug like cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine, which are more addictive and dangerous.
Any representation that can be made in court about possible deaths resulting from the drugs the person was selling would also be an aggravating factor.
