Michigan Motion For Modification Or Reduction of Sentence Pursuant To is a legal process in Michigan that allows individuals to petition the court to reduce or modify their sentence due to mitigating circumstances or a change in circumstances since their sentencing. It is available to those who have already been convicted and sentenced and is filed with the court that issued the original sentence. There are two main types of modifications or reductions of sentences: MCL 769.25a and MCL 769.25b. MCL 769.25a applies to individuals who have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor and are serving a jail or prison sentence for the conviction. It allows for the court to reduce or modify the sentence if there are mitigating factors or if there has been a significant change in circumstances since the sentencing. MCL 769.25b is available to individuals who are serving sentences for certain nonviolent felonies, and allows the court to modify the sentence by granting probation or a lesser sentence, such as a shorter jail term. This type of Michigan Motion is available to those who were convicted and sentenced prior to April 11, 2003. In order to file a Michigan Motion For Modification Or Reduction of Sentence Pursuant To, individuals must file a formal legal document with the court that issued the original sentence and provide evidence of mitigating circumstances or a change in circumstances. The court will then consider the motion and allow for a hearing if necessary. If the court approves the motion, the sentence is then modified or reduced according to the court’s ruling.
