FAQ
Sentencing hearings At a sentencing hearing, both sides can argue how they think the judge should apply the sentencing laws and what the appropriate sentence should be. In a felony case, a probation officer will generally write a report with a recommended sentence. Victims and the defendant can also make statements.
Michigan law starts with a presumption against jail time for most misdemeanor crimes. Instead, the law directs the judge to impose non-jail sentencing options, such as fines, community service, house arrest, probation, or participation in a treatment court.
In general, the statutory sentencing guidelines apply to all felony offenses except offenses for which the applicable statute establishes a mandatory determinate penalty or a mandatory penalty of life imprisonment.
Usually you are moved directly to jail after sentencing. It's presumed that all matters have been taken care of beforehand, as it takes months and possibly years to conduct a trial and sentencing.
In scoring PRVs 1 to 5, do not use any conviction or juvenile adjudication that precedes a period of 10 or more years between the discharge date from a conviction or juvenile adjudication and the commission date of the next offense resulting in a conviction or juvenile adjudication.
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.
A few months after the defendant is found guilty, they return to court to be sentenced. The judge receives guidance and assistance from several sources in order to sentence a defendant. Congress has established minimum and maximum punishments for many crimes which the judge uses to craft a sentence.
This mandatory minimum law cannot be altered or adjusted and is required under the laws of Michigan. As you can see, being subject to mandatory minimum sentences in prison is no laughing matter.
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.
