Understanding State Sentencing Can Help Your Defense
Kansas felony state sentencing breaks down into two general categories:
- Grid crimes: The graph provides sentencing guidelines based on your individual criminal history and the severity level of the offense with which you are being charged. When you compare the two, you get a specific baseline number for sentencing.
- Off-grid crimes: There are several crimes that do not fall within the graph, which can include DUI, Jessica's Law cases involving sex crimes and crimes involving homicide.
