Sentencing guidelines

3

Sentencing guidelines became Florida law on October 1, 1983. The fast official interest in guidelines oc­curred in 1977 when the chief justice of the Florida Supreme Coun appointed a committee to examine the ex­tent and causes of sentence disparity. Another mission of the committee was to explore the variety ofsentencing alternatives available in order to reduce unreasonable sentence variation. Because existing law al­lowed the court to impose any sentence within the limits of punishment established by law for a particular fel­ony, there was growing concern that some judges gave a more punitive or lenient sentence than others topersons found guilty of the same offenses. There also tended to be wide disparity in sentencing practices indifferent parts of the state. Therefore, the primary motivation for the sentencing guidelines was to establish auniform set of standards to guide the court in the decision making process and thus reduce this disparity.

The guidelines are based on a point system that determines the probability and length of incarceration. Of­fenses are grouped into nine felony categories: murder and manslaughter; sexual offenses; robbery; violentpersonal crimes; burglary; thef4 forgery and fraud; drugs; weapons; and all other offenses. Each category hasits own point system. Each score sheet for a felon contains five items, each scored according to the guide­lines and totalled. The total score then determines the range of sentence the judge can impose. The fiveitems which determine the range of sentence are: primary (most serious) offense at conviction; additional of- ,fenses at conviction; prior record (including the number of convictions); legal status of the offender (whether ~

on probation or parole,violatio~ for example); and victim injury. The fmal score sheet with all the determin­ing points goes to the trial judge, the Guidelines Commission, the state attorney, the defense counsel and the ~

court record, for review as to accuracy.

According to the 1983 law, judges were to impose a sentence within the recommended range, otherwise anautomatic appeal was mandatory. But since that time the guidelines have been attacked by some judges whofeel that their sentencing function has been reduced. Other law enforcement officials and legislators regardthe guidelines as too soft on criminals.

The 19881egislatur'e amended the guidelines to allow judges much wider discretion in deviating from the rec­ommended range of sentences. It also abolished the requirement that the sentencing coun provide writtenreasons for deviating from the guidelines and also the provision for automatic.appellate review if there was adeviation.

The League of Women Voters of Florida has been in favor of uniform sentencing since adopting the positionduring the 1972-73 criminal justice study. Since the enactment of the guidelines, LWVF has monitored thechanges and lobbied to resist the efforts to abolish the guidelines. The 1988 legislature weakened them con­siderably by allowing judges to deviate from the original range of sentences and by introducing a new "per­mitted rangett granting longer sentences. The LWVF intends to continue supporting the original guidedlinesand particularly to protest the modification allowing for longer sentences. Because of severe prison over­crowding, (studies show that Florida has the highest prison population per 100,000 residents in the U.S.),LWVF sentencing guidelines priorities call for legislation to assure that the state's sentencing system allocatescarce prison space to the most serious offenders.
