RE: Sentencing Guidelines

Dear Colleague:

Please find the revised Manual (including a simplifiedWorksheet) as promised in the Annual Report of the MarylandSentencing Guidelines Board. The Annual Report was included inthe Memorandum of “Reports Requiring Action” sent to you by StateCourt Administrator James H. Norris, Jr., under date of March 23,1987.

Enclosed also is a Summary of the revisions. As you know,at sentencing, there is the benefit of a worksheet which tellsthe judge the range of sentences imposed by his/her peers for aperson like the defendant who has committed the same kind ofcrime in the same “way” (of course, the judge does not have tosentence “within the guidelines” but may sentence higher or lowergiving the reasons). In order to know what the peer sentencesare, we “keep score” and periodically analyze data so that thesentencing range truly reflects the current sentencing activitiesof the various judges throughout the State. In this way, we areable to present current information to a judge when performingthe awesome responsibility of sentencing. Hence the need for“revisions.”

As mentioned, the revisions were the culmination of atremendous amount of hard and necessary work by the judgeson Judge Howard S. Chasanow’s Guidelines Revision Committee.The Revision Committee’s various recommendations were adopted

—2--

unanimously by the judges on the Sentencing GuidelinesBoard. As you know, the Board consists entirely ofstatewide judges. The judges were ably assisted by exofficio Board members, each of whom represents an importantcomponent in the criminal justice system. Finally, theStaff must be given full recognition for its valuable andabsolutely vital input.

We respectfully ask that you favorably consider theserevisions at the upcoming business meeting of the JudicialConference to be held on April 23, 1987 at 2:00.

Sincerely,

PREFACE CThe Maryland sentencing guidelines cover most criminal cases

originating in a Circuit Court. Based on sentencing experience inMaryland, the guidelines were first developed, with staffassistance, by a Board of judges, legislators and otherrepresentatives of the Criminal Justice System.

The chief goals of sentencing guidelines are:

1. To increase equity in sentencing, i.e., to reduceunwarranted variation while retaining judicial discretionto individualize sentences;

2. To articulate an explicit sentencing policy while providinga regular basis for policy review and change;

3. To provide information for new or rotating judges; and

4. To promote increased visibility and understanding of thesentencjug process.

Sentencing guidelines make it possible to take into accountsystematically and publicly the most common variations inoffenders and their offenses, within the current sentencing Cframework. Systematic sentencing can be achieved by having thejudiciary, as a body, agree on certain core factors and theirweights, to be considered in making sentencing decisions. Itshould be emphasized that sentencing guidelines are, as the nameindicates, guidelines to assist judges in sentencing. They are

• not mandatory. Guidelines complement rather than replace theV judicial decision—making process or the proper exercise of

judicial discretion.

)

particular case is 6 to 12 years, the judge will be

within the guidelines if he gives a sentence such

as 10 years with 4 years suspended or 15 years with

5 years suspended. If, however, he gives 6 years,

all suspended, the sentence will be outside the

guidelines.

If an offender is already under sentence, timeremaining to be served should be indicated on the

worksheet with the rest of the sentencing

information. This remaining time will be counted

in determining whether the new sentence orsentences are within the guidelines. If theguidelines range is 2 to 5 years and the offender

has served 1 year of a previous 3 year sentence,

he would have to receive at least two years ofadditional unsuspended time to be sentenced withinguidelines. Among sentences that would be within

the guidelines in this example are 4 yearsconcurrent, 2 years consecutive or 8 years

concurrent with 4 years suspended.

Probation Within statutory limits, the length of anyprobation imposed is left to the discretion of thejudge.

1.4 SENTENCES OUTSIDE THE GUIDELINES

Written Reasons Whenever a sentence outside the recommended

for Departure guidelines range is imposed, the judge should give

from Guidelines written reasons on the guidelines worksheet.Reasons for departing from guidelines shouldindicate specifically why the sentence actuallyimposed is more appropriate, reasonable, orequitable than a sentence within he guidelines.These reasons may be brief but should besubstantive. Although the guidelines are advisoryto the sentencing judge, it is expected that he orshe will deviate from the guidelines only whencircumstances are compelling.

1.5 GUIDELINES WORKSHEET DISTRIBUTION

Copies of each guidelines worksheet should beDistribution of distributed as follows:Color-codedWorksheets White — Sentencing Judge

Blue — Administrative Office of theCourts (Maryland SentencingGuidelines)

Green (a) Attached to commitment orderif defendant receives any period

(Rev. 3/87) 4

of incarceration; or(b) Attached to probation orderif defendant is put on probationimmediately; andCc) Copy to Division of Paroleand Probation in split sentencecases.

Yellow — Court FilePink — State’s AttorneyCold — Defense Attorney

The sentencing judge and opposing counselshould have received or completed their copies ofthe worksheets prior to sentencing. When apresentence investigator fills in a worksheet, heshould send the judge the first four copies,together with the presentence investigation (PSI)and the Maryland Sentencing Guidelines Criteria forPrior Record. If no PSI is ordered, the judge willhave decided whc is to complete the forms.

At sentencing, the actual sentence and anychanges on the worksheet should be entered by thejudge and recorded by the two attorneys on theircopies.

After sentencing, the judge distributes theblue, green and yellow copies to the indicatedrecipients according to individual court practice.The Maryland Sentencing Guidelines Criteria forPrior Record form should accompany the blueworksheet sent to the Administrative Office of theCourts. In split sentence cases, the court shouldmake a copy of the worksheet for the appropriateprobation office. An institution receiving aprisoner eligible for parole will duplicate itsworksheet copy for the Parole Commission.

(Rev. 3/87) 5

transaction. Multiple criminal events beingsentenced together may have occurred on the same ordifferent dates. Offenses which occur on differentdates are almost always separate criminal events.

The block for the worksheet number andcriminal event number is intended to provideinformation as to the total number of convictedoffenses at a sentencing event. For sentencingsinvolving more than one criminal event, this blockshould also reflect the chronological order inwhich the events occurred and which offenses werepart of which event.

For a single convicted offense, the number ofconvicted offenses, the convicted offense number,and the criminal event number would all be “1”.(See sample case 1, page E—3.,)

For multiple convicted offenses the number ofconvicted offenses entered on the worksheet is thetotal number being sentenced at this sentencingevent. (See sample cases 4 through 8, pages E—11—E—35.)

For multiple offenses from more than onecriminal event, the number of criminal events isnumbered chronologically by date of offense. (Seesample case 6, page E—22.)

Spaces are provided on each worksheet forlisting up to three convicted offense titles for a

Conv-z-cted single criminal event (whether the same orOffense different docket numbers). Convicted offenseT-itle(s) titles and their corresponding Maryland code

references may be abbreviated but should be asspecific as possible. For example, the offensetitle for a drug violation (even if it is aconspiracy or attempt) should include the name ofthe drug and whether possession, distribution, etc.was involved. Property offenses should include anyrelevant dollar categories, such as “Theft Under$300” or “Extortion $300 or More”.

Spaces are provided at the bottom of theworksheet for the signature of the sentencing judgeand the person completing the worksheet.

The Sentencing The disposition type refers to the nature and

Judge Should circumstances of the conviction and sentencing.

If the disposition resulted from pleanegotiations, circle “1” and provide a briefdescription. Examples are: lesser charge, reducednumber of charges, binding plea agreement as toactual sentence, binding plea agreement as tosentence maximum or range, State recoinniendation asto sentence, and agreed statement of facts.

If the defendant pled guilty without anyagreement from the prosecutor or judge to performin a particular way, circle “2”.

If the disposition resulted from a courttrial, circle “3”.

If the disposition followed a trial by jury,circle “4”.

2.2 GUIDELINES SCORING

For offenses against persons, an offense scoreand an offender score must be computed for eachoffense to be sentenced. Since there are nospecial offense characteristics to be used indetermining the guidelines sentence for drug andproperty offenses, only an offender scqre needs tobe computed for them.

2.2.1 Computation of the Offense Score

Offense Score forOffenses AgainstPersons Only(Scinple Case 1.,

p. E-3)

The offense score for each convicted offenseis derived by totaling the points given for certainfactors of that offense. Items may be included ifknown to the judge even if not within the scope ofthe convicted offense, e.g., weapon usage in arobbery conviction or victim injury in a handgunviolation conviction.

A firearm offense is considered a personoffense under guidelines.

The four elements of the offense score appearin Table 3 below. A column of offense scores isprovided on the worksheet for each of threepossible offenses within a single criminal event.

Following are a description and aninterpretation of the scoring for each offensefactor.

Seriousness A. Seriousness Category of the Convicted

Category Offense

Points are given on the basis of the- seriousness category of the convicted offense. In

Appendix A, page 24, Maryland criminal offenses arelisted alphabetically with Seriousness Categories.

Conspiracies A conspiracy, attempt or solicitation should

Attempts d be considered in the same seriousness category as

SoZ,icitations the substantive offense unless specificallyaddressed by separate statute (e.g., AttemptedArson, Article 27/10). Accessory before or after

Accessory the fact is considered to be one seriousnessBefore of After category below the substantive offense. Worksheetsthe Fact submitted for conspiracy, attempt. solicitation or

accessory should specify the substantive illegalactivity involved.

Victim Injury B. Victim Injury

Victim injury may be physical or mental. Thelatter must be based on confirmed medical diagnosis

(Rev. 3/87) 9

or psychological treatment. For guidelinespurposes, mental injury is always to be considerednon—permanent.

In a multiple offense case, injury points aregiven only for the offense or offenses where avictim was injured.

Weapon Usage c. Weapon Usage

A weapon is any article or device whichreasonably appears capable of causing injury or anyarticle that could result in conviction under theconcealed weapons statute.

Ezplosives Explosives are to be considered the same asfirearms.

CO Gun3 Toy Weapons other than firearms include

Gu,, Starter incendiaries, knives, tire irons and clubs. CO2

Pistols guns (including pellet guns), toy pistols andstarter pistols are also scored as weapons otherthan firearms and receive one point.

Not included among weapons are automobiles,unless deliberately used as weapons; or parts ofthe body, e.g., hands or feet, unless the offenderis a professional in some form of self—defense.

Feigned Weapon If a weapon was feigned but no weapon wasactually present, the score would be “0” (no weaponused). -

Accessory After Any applicable guidelines points for weapon

the Fact usage should be given to an accessory before thefact but not to an accessory after the fact.

Especially D. Special Vulnerability of Victim

VulnerableVictim This item is designed to cover cases in which

the relative helplessness of the victim tends torender the actions of the perpetrator all the morebrutal or sadistic. An especially vulnerablevictim is anyone 10 years of age or less, 60 yearsof age or more, or physically or mentallyhandicapped. The handicap may be temporary orpermanent.

Total Offense To obtain an offense score, add the circledScore points in A, B, C and D for each person offense of

which the defendant was convicted. The maximumoffense score is 15; the minimum is 1.

(Rev. 3/87) 10

2.2.2 Computation of the Offender Score

Criminal Justice Occurred

SupervisionIf the offender was in the criminal justice

system as the result of an adjudication of guilt asan adult, this factor should be scored as “1”. Thedefendant may have been on parole, probation,incarcerated, on work release, etc., at the timethe offense was committed.

(Rev. 3/87) 11

Juvenile B. Juvenile DelinquencyRecord

Findings of delinquency are counted the sameas convictions would be for an adult; that is,there may be more than one as part of a singleevent. An incarcerable traffic offense in whichthe court finds a juvenile involved should betreated as part of his or her juvenile record.

Commitments refer to the court’s assignment ofa juvenile to a correctional facility, large orsmall. Suspended juvenile commitments should becounted as findings of delinquency.

Age for If the offender was 26 or older at the time ofConsidering the instant offense, any juvenile record should beJuvenile Record excluded from consideration. An offender who had

reached his 26th birthday by the date of theoffense will be scored “0” whether or not he had ajuvenile record.

Adult Criminal C. Prior Adult Criminal RecordRecord

Use the Maryland Sentencing GuidelinesCriteria for Prior Record form to deteihnine theseverity of an offender’s prior criminal behavior.If an offender has never been convicted of acriminal offense, score “0”. Appendix B containsinstructions for calculating the number of offenderpoints for juvenile delinquency and whether anadult record, if any, should be considered minor (1point), moderate (3 points), or major (5 points).

D. Prior Adult Parole/Probation ViolationsParole orProbation Score “0” if offender has never before been onViolations adult parole or probation or has successfully

completed previous periods of supervision as anadult. Score one point if offender was everadjudicated in violation of parole or probation orwas convicted of an offense while on parole orprobation, unless the adjudication or convictionarose from the offense or offenses of thissentencing event. Do not give a point simplybecause offender was on parole or probation at thetime of the instant offense; he will already havebeen penalized in “A” for being under supervisionwhen he committed this offense.

Total Offense To obtain the total offender score, add theScore circled points in A, B, C and D. The maximum

offender score is “9”; the minimum is “0”.

(Rev. 3/87) 12

2.3 DETERMINING THE GUIDELINES SENTENCE

After the offense and offender scores havebeen calculated for each offense for which there isa conviction or other adjudication of guilt, usethe appropriate matrix — person, drug, or property

to determine the guidelines range. (See Table

5.) In multiple offense cases, the overallguidelines range is determined after calculatingguidelines for the individual offenses (See pages15—20.) A sentence within the guidelines is asentence where the net unsuspended incarcerationafter the expiration of any previously imposedincarceration is within the guidelines.

is in the block opposite the seriousness category

for that offense and under the applicable offender

score.

Appendix Table C.2b lists each drug seriousness category opposite the offender scores andguidelines ranges for each. When using this table,match the seriousness category of the convictedoffense to the offender score to find theguidelines sentence. Possession with Intent toDistribute is considered an offense under 27/286rather than 27/287.

The sale or possession of an unusally largeamount of drugs or evidence that the offender is anupper echelon dealer are aggravating factors thatshould be considered as reasons for sentencing

above the guidelines.

Offenses ranges if not otherwise provided for in thisManual. When the statutory penalty for a drugoffense is doubled under Article 27, Section 293,the guidelines range for that offense is alsodoubled. The guidelines sentence is determined bydoubling the appropriate sentence from the drugoffense sentencing matrix except when the mandatoryminimum sentence under 27/286 is invoked and takesprecedence.

If sentencing is pursuant to an enhancedpunishment statute, mark the box provided on theworksheet and specify the statute.

2.3.9 “White Collar” Offenses“Wh-cte CollarCrimes The guidelines apply to white collar offenses.

However, it is pointed out and emphasized that thepresence of a white collar offense should be viewedas an aggravating factor which may lead the

‘This offense is not covered by guidelines and does not require thesubmission of a worksheet. It is listed here for purposes of computingAdult Prior Criminal Record only.

2All those punishable by terms of incarceration. See Title 27/101—105 of the Transportation Article of the Code of Maryland.

3First Degree Murder is listed in Seriousness Category I, and

offense and offender scores should be computed, but the guidelinessentence for First Degree Murder is always life, unless Article 27/413(Death Penalty) is invoked.

41n 1978, a comprehensive theft statute replaced the previouslyseparate designation of offenses such as Larcency, Larcency by Trick,Larceny after Trust. Embezzlement, False Pretenses, Shoplifting, andReceiving Stolen Goods. For purposes of guidelines, the old offensesshould be considered “Theft under $300” if they were misdemeanors and“Theft $300 or More” if they were felonies.

APPENDIX B

CLASSIFICATION OF THE PRIOR ADULT CRIMINAL RECORD

PROCEDURES

If the offender has ever been convicted of an offense as anadult or received an adjudication of guilt, use the criteria inTable B.1 (p. B—3) or B.2 (pp. B—6—B—7) before completing theworksheet for each criminal event to determine whether the priorrecord for that criminal event should be considered Minor,Moderate or Major. Using the Criteria for Prior Record form (p.B—4) to record the details of prior record information will makeworksheet tabulation simpler and more accurate. The procedure forthe proper use of Table B.1 consists of the following steps:

1. Count the number of prior adjudications of guilt accordingto the Seriousness Categories in Appendix A.

2. Taking the number of adjudications in the most seriouscategory of offenses, refer to Table B.1 and locate theblock containing the number of convictions for thatseriousness category.

3. Use the criteria in the identified block to classify therecord as Minor, Moderate or Major.

Table B.2 may be used instead of Table B.1 to classify aprior record. It is simply a verbal description of Table B.1

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

- Prior Adult Criminal Record

The prior adult criminal record includes all adjudications ofguilt preceding the current sentencing event, whether theoffense(s) was committed before or after the instant one.Probations before judgment (PBJ) and convictions under the FederalYouth Corrections Act (FYCA) are included unless expunged from therecord. (If a PBJ or FYCA conviction appears in the defendant’srecord, it has not been expunged.) Not considered part of a prioradult criminal record are public local laws, municipalinfractions, contempt, criminal non—support, and non—incarcerabletraffic offenses. If the seriousness category of a Marylandoffense is not in the Manual, use Seriousness Category VII.

Different Criminal Events Sentenced Together

If multiple offenses from different criminal events are beingsentenced together at this sentencing event, the offender’scriminal record will include any adjudication of guilt prior to

(Rev.3/87)

B-i

the current sentencing and will be the same for each offense beingsentenced at this time. C

Convictions Out of State

If an offender has ever been convicted out of state, theoffense should be matched as closely as possible to a Marylandoffense. If no Maryland counterpart exists, the offense should becounted in the lowest seriousness category, VII, and thesentencing judge should be informed.

Theft—Type Offenses

In 1978, a comprehensive theft statute replaced thepreviously separate designation of offenses such as Larceny,Larceny by Trick, Larceny after Trust, Embezzlement, FalsePretenses, Shop— lifting, and Receiving Stolen Goods. Forpurposes of guidelines, the old offenses should be considered“Theft under $300” if they were misdemeanors and “Theft $300 orMore” if they were felonies.

Criminal Record Decay Factor

If an offender has lived in the community for at least tenyears prior to the instant offense without parole or probationsupervision and without any adjudication of guilt, his criminalrecord should be lowered one level: from Major to Moderate, from CModerate to Minor, or from Minor to None.

Conspiracies, Attempts and Solicitations

Conspiracies, attempts and solicitations should be consideredin the same seriousness category as the substantive offense unlessspecifically addressed by separate statute (e.g., Attempted Arson,27/10). Accessory before or after the fact is considered to beone seriousness category below the substantive offense.

later, the victim’s friend observed a passing patrol car and yelled for

help. During a search of the surrounding area, the victim identified a

approached, the defendant threw an object and began to run. The

defendant was apprehended by another police unit circling the area, at

Following this procedure, theoverall recommended sentencing range would be 46 years (28 years plus18 years) to Life plus 30 years (Life plus 30 years).
