Zero Gravity Score Sentencing

Summary

In Pennsylvania, a zero gravity score signifies a less severe offense, potentially leading to a reduced sentence. However, for a third-degree felony, the maximum sentence can still be up to 7 years, depending on factors like prior record score and judicial discretion. A clean prior record and zero gravity score may result in probation or minimal jail time, but the final decision rests with the judge.
