Wisconsin Orders Concerning Sentence Adjustment 973.195 is a law that establishes the parameters for how the court may adjust a criminal sentence after conviction. This order permits the court to adjust a sentence based on a variety of factors including the defendant’s prior criminal history, the severity of the crime, and the defendant’s rehabilitative efforts. It also outlines the procedures for the court to consider a sentence modification, including the need for a motion from either the defendant or the prosecution. There are two types of Wisconsin Order Concerning Sentence Adjustment 973.195: sentence adjustment and sentence modification. Sentence adjustment allows for the court to reduce the length or terms of a sentence without the need for a motion. Sentence modification requires a motion to be filed by either the defendant or the prosecution, and the court can adjust the sentence in accordance with that motion.
