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.
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.
Say you were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison. After 10 years, the Parole Board has jurisdiction in your case and can decide to parole you. But even if they keep denying you parole, after 15 years, you must be released.
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.
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.
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.
A juvenile may be arrested on a warrant issued on either a complaint or a juvenile information. When arrest is unnecessary, the court may be asked to issue a summons on the complaint or information.
Probation is perhaps the most common penalty in the juvenile justice system. Judges have considerable discretion to set the terms of probation. These may be specific to the circumstances of the case.
For felonies, the Circuit Court judge will consult "sentencing guidelines" (originally established by the Michigan Supreme Court, but now applicable by recent "Truth in Sentencing" laws).
