Federal Sentencing Guidelines Overview
Summary
Federal sentencing guidelines determine the recommended sentencing range based on offense level and criminal history. Enhancements can increase the offense level, while cooperation agreements and positive compliance can lead to sentence reductions, typically ranging from 20% to 50%. Charges are often enhanced by prosecutors but can be negotiated down by 20-50% during plea bargaining. The final sentence is at the judges discretion, considering all factors. Consulting an attorney familiar with federal guidelines in Ohio is advisable for specific guidance.Full Conversation

The sentencing guidelines can be complex. The range of *-120 months generally refers to the recommended sentencing period. The defendant’s offense level and criminal history determine this range. Since the defendant has no prior criminal history, no drugs or violence involved, and is complying with probation, this will likely affect the sentencing level.

The likely outcome will depend on several factors, including the offense level and any possible enhancements or reductions. With no criminal history, no drugs or violence, and positive compliance, this could result in a more lenient sentence within the *-120 month range.

With a *% reduction of 120 months what level would that put the defendant at? Will it still be level D or will it be level C?
A *% reduction of 120 months would reduce the sentence to 96 months. The offense level typically determines the sentencing range, not the actual sentence length. For specific offense levels (D or C) and how they correlate with sentence lengths, it is best to consult sentencing guidelines or an attorney.
