Mandatory Minimum Sentences In Maryland This means that if you were charged with a crime that requires a mandatory minimum sentence, the judge cannot give you a lesser sentence if you are convicted, regardless of extenuating circumstances, regardless of whether the punishment truly fits the crime.
Judges consider many factors when deciding on an appropriate punishment, including: the defendant's past criminal record, age, and sophistication. the circumstances under which the crime was committed, and. whether the defendant expresses remorse.

The sentence recommendation is determined in the grid by the cell that is the intersection of an individual's offense score and offender score. For drug and property offenses, the offense score is determined by the seriousness of the offense (“seriousness category”).
Ohio felony sentencing laws may also impose mandatory prison terms in some cases. For example, Ohio requires mandatory sentences for aggravated murder, murder, rape, or attempted rape of a child under the age of 13, and first- or second-degree felony drug trafficking.

Some Class C or 3 felonies might carry maximum prison sentences of only 1 to 5 years, whereas other states could have maximum penalties of 10 or 15 years. Most felony statutes indicate a maximum sentence but not necessarily a minimum sentence.
