Michigan Sentencing Appeal Guidelines
Summary
Appealing a case in Michigan for sentencing errors in Offense Variables (OV) and Prior Record Variables (PRV) can result in sentence adjustments. If the correction lowers guidelines, the sentence cannot exceed the original term. Ineffective assistance of counsel can be a basis for appeal if it affected the outcome. A 6500 motion allows raising multiple issues, including ineffective assistance claims, in one filing. Legal research databases and local law libraries can aid in finding relevant case laws.Full Conversation
But if it doesnt increase my guidlines they cant give me more time than they ordigiany gave me
In general, if the correction of the sentencing error does not result in higher sentencing guidelines, the court cannot increase your sentence beyond the original sentence. However, specific details can vary. Would you like more detailed information on the appeal process or the guidelines?
They over scored three ovs which brings my guidelines down im scared they give me more time
If your guidelines are lowered due to the correction of the over-scored Offense Variables (OVs), the court cannot increase your sentence beyond the original term. They can only adjust the sentence within the corrected guidelines.

It sounds like you have concerns about your attorney's strategy during the trial. This can be quite serious. Here are a few points to consider:
- Ineffective assistance of counsel can be a basis for appeal if your attorney's performance was deficient and it affected the outcome.
- If your attorney admitted guilt to a lesser charge without your consent, it could be a significant issue.
