Sec. 14.22.01.11. Determining the Guidelines Sentence

A. Guidelines Range. After the offense and offender scores have been calculated for each offense for which there is a conviction or other adjudication of guilt, the individual completing the worksheet shall use the appropriate matrix - person, drug, or property - to determine the guidelines range. In multiple offense cases, the individual completing the worksheet shall determine the overall guidelines range after calculating guidelines for the individual offenses.

B. Actual Sentence. At the time of sentencing, the judge shall enter the actual sentence on the worksheet. Complete sentencing information for each convicted offense includes credit for time served, suspended time, length of probation, fine, restitution, and community service. If at any time a sentence is altered, a judge shall issue a revised worksheet and direct that the worksheet be distributed in the same manner as an original worksheet.

C. Person Offenses.

(1) To find the recommended guidelines sentence for a person offense, the individual completing the worksheet shall use the sentencing matrix for offenses against persons. The guideline ranges are in a grid format with the offense score on the vertical axis and the offender score on the horizontal axis. The guidelines range for any given convicted offense is in the cell where the two scores intersect.
