how many years in prison.........

would this get you?: claims of attempted murder, possession of drugs, small drug trafficking, and attacking a cop (while drunk). which would be the worst of them all?

Well, even claims of attempted murder is bad. If you were convicted of attempted murder I would guess that you would be sentenced to 3-5 years. Of course you would probably be let out on parole way before the 5 years were up.

Keep in mind that this is all just a guess.

Atacking a cop. A claim can't land you in jail unless there's solid evidence, in which case it's attempted murder, not claims. Attacking a cop on the other hand, is a very serious offense.

It also depends on the country or region. And of the course, the time period.

One might find one place will hang someone even for attempted murder, while other places are not quite so sever.

I should look at the copy of the criminal code I have here. hmm...
