   The provisions of this Chapter 303 adopted May 14, 1982, effective July 22, 1982, 12 Pa.B. 1536, unless otherwise noted.

Notes of Decisions

   Deadly Weapons Enhancement

   The court did not err by imposing the deadly weapons enhancement on the charge of terroristic threats following appellant’s act of flailing a kitchen knife at the officer called to the scene of a domestic incident. Commonwealth v. Beckwith, 674 A.2d 276 (Pa. Super. 1996).

   Deviation from Guidelines

   The sentencing court, which deviated from the guidelines’ suggested range, abused its discretion by focusing on its perceived seriousness of the offense, and by expressing its opinion that the guidelines for the particular offense are ‘‘ridiculous.’’ The court also failed to consider the character and circumstances of the defendant. Because of the abuse of discretion, the sentence was vacated and the matter remanded for resentencing. Commonwealth v. Eby, 784 A.2d 204 (Pa. Super. 2001).

§ 303.1. Sentencing guidelines standards.

 (a)  The court shall consider the sentencing guidelines in determining the appropriate sentence for offenders convicted of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, felonies and misdemeanors. Where crimes merge for sentencing purposes, the court shall consider the sentencing guidelines only on the offense assigned the higher offense gravity score.

 (b)  The sentencing guidelines do not apply to sentences imposed as a result of the following: accelerated rehabilitative disposition; disposition in lieu of trial; direct or indirect contempt of court; violations of protection from abuse orders; revocation of probation, intermediate punishment or parole.

 (c)  The sentencing guidelines shall apply to all offenses committed on or after the effective date of the guidelines. Amendments to the guidelines shall apply to all offenses committed on or after the date the amendment becomes part of the guidelines.

   (1)  When there are current multiple convictions for offenses that overlap two sets of guidelines, the former guidelines shall apply to offenses that occur prior to the effective date of the amendment and the later guidelines shall apply to offenses that occur on or after the effective date of the amendment. If the specific dates of the offenses cannot be determined, then the later guidelines shall apply to all offenses.

   (2)  The initial sentencing guidelines went into effect on July 22, 1982 and applied to all crimes committed on or after that date. Amendments to the guidelines went into effect in June 1983, January 1986 and June 1986. On October 7, 1987 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court invalidated the guidelines due to a procedural error that occurred in 1981 when the legislature rejected the first set of guidelines. New guidelines were drafted and became effective on April, 25, 1988. Amendments to the guidelines went into effect August 9, 1991 and December 20, 1991. Revised sets of guidelines became effective August 12, 1994, June 13, 1997, June 3, 2005, and December 5, 2008.

 (d)  In every case in which a court of record imposes a sentence for a felony or misdemeanor, the court shall make as a part of the record, and disclose in open court at the time of sentencing, a statement of the reason or reasons for the sentence imposed. In every case where a court of record imposes a sentence outside the sentencing guidelines, the reason or reasons for the deviation from the guidelines shall be recorded on the Guideline Sentence Form, a copy of which shall be electronically transmitted to the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing in the manner described in §  303.1(e).

 (e)  Unless otherwise provided by the Commission, the JNET-based Sentencing Guidelines Software Web application (SGS Web) shall be used at the court’s direction to prepare all guideline-required sentencing information. The completed Guideline Sentence Form shall be made a part of the record and the information electronically submitted to the Commission via SGS Web no later than 30 days after the date of sentencing.

 (f)  Effective January 1, 2014, the State Identification Number (SID) for an offender shall be included as part of the record in the completed Guideline Sentence Form.

   The provisions of this §  303.1 amended July 5, 1985, and applies to sentences for crimes committed after January 1, 1986, 15 Pa.B. 2447; as announced at 16 Pa.B. 439 (February 15, 1986). Prior guidelines will continue to apply when sentencing crimes committed before January 2, 1986; amended December 4, 1987, effective April 25, 1988, 18 Pa.B. 1916; amended May 11, 1991, effective August 9, 1991, 21 Pa.B. 3988; amended February 15, 1994, effective August 12, 1994, 24 Pa.B. 2483; amended March 14, 1997, effective June 13, 1997, 27 Pa.B. 1252; amended February 9, 2005, effective June 3, 2005, 35 Pa.B. 1508; amended September 5, 2008, effective December 5, 2008, 38 Pa.B. 4971; amended September 13, 2012, effective December 28, 2012, 42 Pa.B. 6072.

Notes of Decisions

   Applicability to Guilty Plea

   The defendant entered guilty pleas, and the sentencing court imposed sentences beyond those recommended in the guidelines without making the requisite statement of reasons for deviation. The sentencing court stated that since the defendant pled guilty, the guidelines do not apply, per §  303.1(b). However, in light of the express provisions of §  303.1(a), which includes those who plead guilty, the failure to provide a contemporaneous written statement of the reason or reasons for the deviation was reversible error. Commonwealth v. Styles, 812 A.2d 1277 (Pa. Super. 2002).

   Date On Which Sentencing Guidelines Apply Is a Legal Question

   For appellate purposes, the issue of which sentencing guidelines to apply is a legal question and not a discretionary matter; defendant was charged with the offense on date amendments became part of guidelines, therefore the new guidelines are controlling. Commonwealth v. Kimbrough, 872 A.2d 1244, 1263 (Pa. Super. 2005); denial of post-conviction relief affirmed in part, vacating in part A.2d (Pa. Super. 2007).

   Deviation from Guidelines

   Sentence imposed by sentencing judge pursuant to Pennsylvania’s indeterminate sentencing scheme that was within the statutory maximum but exceeded the aggravated range of the sentencing guidelines was not unconstitutional; the statutory maximum is the polestar for constitutional purposes and a judge may impose a sentence outside the guidelines without unconstitutionally increasing the punishment for a crime based on judicially-determined facts as long as the maximum sentence imposed does not exceed the statutory limit. Commonwealth v. Yuhasz, 923 A.2d 1111, 1118—1119 (Pa. 2007)

   Where the sentence substantially exceeded the aggravated range, but was within the statutory limits, and the trial court made the required contemporaneous findings to support the deviation, the Superior Court erred in not allowing an appeal of the sentence to determine if it was excessive. Commonwealth v. Mouzon, 812 A.2d 617 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2002); on remand 828 A.2d 1126 (Pa. Super 2003).

   Although deviation from the sentencing guidelines was permitted, the Sentencing Code required that the court place of record its reasons for such deviations. Where the court failed to indicate that it was in fact sentencing appellant outside of the guidelines and failed to provide a contemporaneous statement of its reasons for such deviation, the sentence should be vacated and remanded for resentencing. Commonwealth v. Byrd, 657 A.2d 961 (Pa. Super. 1995).

   Effective Dates

   Although the sentencing code does not address the issue of which guidelines apply where there is a continuing course of criminal activity occurring both before and after amendments to the guidelines are enacted, the court acted within its discretion in sentencing appellant within the guidelines prior to amendment because appellant had engaged in a continuing course of criminal activity which occurred both before and after the enactment of the August 1994 sentencing guidelines. Commonwealth v. Gessa, 26 D. & C. 4th 216 (1995); affirmed 685 A.2d 1042 (Pa. Super 1996).

   Effective Dates—Ineffective Counsel Assistance

   Because the sentencing ranges on the Sentencing Guideline Worksheets were calculated according to the amended guidelines which were effective for all offenses committed after August 12, 1994, and appellant’s crimes were committed prior to that date, trial counsel was ineffective in failing to object to the imposition of sentence based upon erroneous computations under this regulation. Commonwealth v. Henry, 681 A.2d 791 (Pa. Super. 1996); appeal denied 689 A.2d 232 (Pa. 1997).

§ 303.2. Procedure for determining the guideline sentence.

 (a)  For each conviction offense of a judicial proceeding, the procedure for determining the guideline sentence shall be as follows:

   (1)  Determine the Offense Gravity Score as described in §  303.3 and §  303.15.

   (2)  Determine the Prior Record Score as described in §  303.4—§  303.8.

   (3)  Determine the guideline sentence recommendation as described in §  303.9—§  303.14, including Deadly Weapon Enhancement and Youth/School Enhancement (§  303.10), and aggravating or mitigating circumstances (§  303.13).

 (b)  Judicial proceeding. A judicial proceeding is a proceeding in which all offenses for which the offender has been convicted are pending before the court for sentencing at the same time. A judicial proceeding may include multiple offenses and transactions.

   The provisions of this §  303.2 amended July 5, 1985, and applies to sentences for crimes committed after January 1, 1986, 15 Pa.B. 2447; as announced at 16 Pa.B. 439 (February 15, 1986). Prior guidelines will continue to apply when sentencing crimes committed before January 2, 1986; amended May 11, 1991, effective August 9, 1991, 21 Pa.B. 3988; amended February 15, 1994, effective August 12, 1994, 24 Pa.B. 2483; amended March 14, 1997, effective June 13, 1997, 27 Pa.B. 1252; amended February 9, 2005, effective June 3, 2005, 35 Pa.B. 1508; amended September 5, 2008, effective December 5, 2008, 38 Pa.B. 4971; amended September 13, 2012, effective December 28, 2012, 42 Pa.B. 6072. Immediately preceding text appears at serial page (337764).

§ 303.3. Offense Gravity Score—general.

 (a)  An Offense Gravity Score is given for each offense. The Offense Gravity Scores are located in §  303.15.

 (b)  Subcategorized offenses. Certain offenses are subcategorized and scored by the Commission according to the particular circumstances of the offense. The court determines which Offense Gravity Score, located in §  303.15, applies. These offenses are designated by an asterisk (*).

 (c)  Inchoate offenses. Inchoate offenses are scored as follows:

   (1)  Convictions for attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit a Felony 1 offense receive an Offense Gravity Score of one point less than the offense attempted, solicited, or which was the object of the conspiracy.

   (2)  Convictions for attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit any offense which is not a Felony 1 offense, receive the Offense Gravity Score of the offense attempted, solicited, or which was the object of the conspiracy.

   (3)  Convictions for attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit any offense under The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act (35 P. S. §  780-101—§  780-144) receive the Offense Gravity Score of the offense attempted, solicited, or which was the object of the conspiracy.

   (4)  Exception for inchoate murder convictions. Convictions for attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit murder receive the Offense Gravity Score of 14 if there is serious bodily injury and 13 if there is no serious bodily injury.

 (d)  Ethnic Intimidation. Convictions for Ethnic Intimidation (18 Pa.C.S. §  2710) receive an Offense Gravity Score that is one point higher than the offense which was the object of the Ethnic Intimidation. When the object offense is murder of the third degree, a conviction for Ethnic Intimidation receives the highest Offense Gravity Score.

 (e)  Violations of The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act (35 P. S. § §  780-101—780-144). If any mixture or compound contains any detectable amount of a controlled substance, the entire amount of the mixture or compound shall be deemed to be composed of the controlled substance. If a mixture or compound contains a detectable amount of more than one controlled substance, the mixture or compound shall be deemed to be composed entirely of the controlled substance which has the highest Offense Gravity Score.

   (1)  Exception for prescription pills. For violations of 35 P. S. §  780-113 (a)(12), (a)(14), and (a)(30) involving narcotic prescription pills of Schedule II, when both the weight and the number of pills are known, the higher Offense Gravity Score assignment applies. (See §  303.15.)

 (f)  Omnibus Offense Gravity Scores. The Omnibus Offense Gravity Score is applied when the offense is not otherwise listed in §  303.15, or when the grade of an offense listed in §  303.15 has changed, unless application of this section would result in a lower Offense Gravity Score for an increased grading of the offense. Where the definition of the crime is changed, but the grade or statutory maximum sentence is not changed, the previously assigned offense gravity score still applies. The Omnibus Offense Gravity Scores are provided below and in the listing at §  303.15:

Felony 1 8
Felony 2 7
Felony 3 5
Felonies not subclassified by the General Assembly5
Misdemeanor 1 3
Misdemeanor 2 2
Misdemeanor 3 1
Misdemeanors not subclassified by the General Assembly 1

§ 303.4. Prior Record Score—categories.

 (a)  Prior Record Score categories. Determination of the correct Prior Record Score category under this section is based on the type and number of prior convictions (§  303.5) and prior juvenile adjudications (§  303.6). There are eight Prior Record Score categories: Repeat Violent Offender (REVOC), Repeat Felony 1 and Felony 2 Offender (RFEL), and point-based categories of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

   (1)  Repeat Violent Offender Category (REVOC). Offenders who have two or more previous convictions or adjudications for four point offenses (§  303.7(a)(1) and §  303.15) and whose current conviction carries an Offense Gravity Score of 9 or higher shall be classified in the Repeat Violent Offender Category.

   (2)  Repeat Felony 1 and Felony 2 Offender Category (RFEL). Offenders who have previous convictions or adjudications for Felony 1 and/or Felony 2 offenses which total 6 or more in the prior record, and who do not fall within the Repeat Violent Offender Category, shall be classified in the repeat Felony 1 and Felony 2 Offender Category.

   (3)  Point-based Categories (0-5). Offenders who do not fall into the REVOC or RFEL categories shall be classified in a Point-based Category. The Prior Record Score shall be the sum of the points accrued based on previous convictions or adjudications, up to a maximum of five points.

Notes of Decisions

   Deadly Weapon Enhancement

   Because the sentencing court failed to consider the guidelines with the deadly weapon enhancement, the sentence must be vacated and the case remanded for resentencing. If the sentencing court then wishes to impose a sentence outside the guidelines, it may do so provided it places adequate reasons for the deviation on the record. Commonwealth v. Magnum, 654 A.2d 1146 (Pa. Super. 1995).

§ 303.5. Prior Record Score—prior convictions.

 (a)  If there is a single offense in the prior judicial proceeding, that offense shall be counted in the calculation of the Prior Record Score.

 (b)  If there are multiple offenses in the prior judicial proceeding:

   (1)  The most serious offense of the judicial proceeding shall be counted in the calculation of the Prior Record Score.

   (2)  Any offense for which a sentence of supervision or confinement is imposed consecutive to a sentence for another offense in the judicial proceeding shall be counted in the calculation of the Prior Record Score.

 (c)  Un-sentenced convictions. If no sentence has yet to be imposed on an offense, the offense shall not be counted in the calculation of the Prior Record Score.

 (d)  Adequacy of the Prior Record Score. The court may consider at sentencing prior convictions, juvenile adjudications or dispositions not counted in the calculation of the Prior Record Score, in addition to other factors deemed appropriate by the court.

Notes of Decisions

   Factors

   The same factors that triggered the enhancement guidelines in the first place can also be used to sentence in the aggravated range. Commonwealth v. Walker, 666 A.2d 301 (Pa. Super. 1995); appeal denied 680 A.2d 1161 (Pa. 1996).

   Illustrative Cases

   Sentencing guidelines and enhanced range of sentence were appropriately applied. Commonwealth v. Walker, 666 A.2d 301 (Pa. Super. 1995).

   The guidelines in §  303.5 impose no restrictions on including convictions from separate judicial proceedings in separate counties toward a prior record score. Commonwealth v. Janda, 14 A.3d 147, 165 (Pa. Super. 2011).

Cross References

§ 303.6. Prior Record Score—prior juvenile adjudications.

 (a)  Juvenile adjudication criteria. Prior juvenile adjudications are counted in the Prior Record Score when the following criteria are met:

   (1)  The juvenile offense occurred on or after the offender’s 14th birthday, and

   (2)  There was an express finding by the juvenile court that the adjudication was for a felony or one of the Misdemeanor 1 offenses listed in §  303.7(a)(4).

 (b)  Only the most serious juvenile adjudication of each prior disposition is counted in the Prior Record Score. No other prior juvenile adjudication shall be counted in the Prior Record Score.

 (c)  Lapsing of juvenile adjudications. Prior juvenile adjudications for four point offenses listed in §  303.7(a)(1) shall always be included in the Prior Record Score, provided the criteria in subsection (a) above are met:

   (1)  All other juvenile adjudications not identified above in subsection (a) lapse and shall not be counted in the Prior Record Score if:

     (i)   The offender was 28 years of age or older at the time the current offense was committed; and

     (ii)   The offender remained crime-free during the ten-year period immediately preceding the offender’s 28th birthday.

     (iii)   Crime-free. Included in the definition of crime-free is any summary offense and/or one misdemeanor offense with a statutory maximum of one year or less.

 (2) Nothing in this section shall prevent the court from considering lapsed prior adjudications at the time of sentencing.

Code §  303.6 (relating to prior record score—prior juvenile adjudications); and 204 Pa. Code §  303.8 (relating to prior record score—miscellaneous).

§ 303.8. Prior Record Score—miscellaneous.

 (a)  Prior convictions and adjudications of delinquency. A prior conviction means ‘‘previously convicted’’ as defined in 42 Pa.C.S. §  2154(a)(2). A prior adjudication of delinquency means ‘‘previously adjudicated delinquent’’ as defined in 42 Pa.C.S. §  2154(a)(2). In order for an offense to be considered in the Prior Record Score, both the commission of and conviction for the previous offense must occur before the commission of the current offense.

 (b)  Inchoate offenses. Unless otherwise provided in §  303.7 or §  303.15, a prior conviction or adjudication of delinquency for criminal attempt, criminal solicitation or criminal conspiracy is scored under §  303.7 based upon the grade of the inchoate offense.

 (c)  Ethnic Intimidation. Unless otherwise provided in §  303.7 or §  303.15, a prior conviction or adjudication of delinquency for Ethnic Intimidation is scored under §  303.7 based upon the grade of the Ethnic Intimidation.

 (d)  Former Pennsylvania offenses.

   (1)  A prior conviction or adjudication of delinquency under former Pennsylvania law is scored as a conviction for the current equivalent Pennsylvania offense.

   (2)  When there is no current equivalent Pennsylvania offense, prior convictions or adjudications of delinquency are scored under §  303.7 based on the grade of the offense. When a prior conviction or adjudication of delinquency was for a felony, but the grade of the felony is unknown, it shall be treated as a Felony 3. When a prior conviction was for a misdemeanor, but the grade of the misdemeanor is unknown, it shall be treated as other misdemeanors. When it cannot be determined if the prior conviction was a felony, one point misde-meanors, or other misdemeanors, it shall be treated as other misdemeanors. When a prior conviction is for a crime which has a summary grade, and the grade of the conviction is unknown, the prior conviction shall not be counted in the Prior Record Score.

 (e)  A prior conviction or adjudication of delinquency for an offense which was misgraded is scored as a conviction for the current equivalent Pennsylvania offense.

 (f)  Out-of-state, federal or foreign offenses.

   (1)  An out-of-state, federal or foreign conviction or adjudication of delinquency is scored as a conviction for the current equivalent Pennsylvania offense.

   (2)  A court-martial for a criminal offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice is considered a federal conviction and is scored as a conviction for the current equivalent Pennsylvania offense. Non-judicial punishments or administrative actions (e.g., Article 15, Article 134) which are not convictions shall not be counted in the Prior Record Score.

   (3)  When there is no current equivalent Pennsylvania offense, determine the current equivalent Pennsylvania grade of the offense based on the maximum sentence permitted, and then apply §  303.8(d)(2).

 (g)  Excluded offenses, charges and convictions. The following types of offenses, charges and convictions shall not be scored in the Prior Record Score:

   (1)  Summary offenses, violations of local ordinances, direct or indirect contempt of court, violation of protection from abuse orders, and dispositions under Pa.R.Crim.P. Rules 300—320 (relating to accelerated rehabilitative disposition), 35 P. S. §  780-117 (relating to probation without verdict) or 35 P. S. §  780-118 (relating to disposition in lieu of trial or criminal punishment).

   (2)  A charge which is nolle prossed, dismissed, or on which a demurrer is sustained.

   (3)  Any prior conviction which contributed to an increase in the grade of a subsequent conviction, except for prior Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Controlled Substance convictions.

Notes of Decisions

   Double Counting

   Trial court’s use of prior conviction in calculating defendant’s prior record score did not constitute ‘‘double counting,’’ a violation of the Sentencing Guidelines; defendant’s prior conviction of burglary was not an element of charge of persons not to possess, use, control, sell or transfer firearms, but was memely a precondition to charging defendant with violation. Commonwealth v. Keiper, 887 A.2d 317, 321 (Pa. Super. 2005).

   Guidelines Violated

   The sentencing court abused its discretion by unreasonably deviating from these sentencing guidelines and imposing an unreasonably lenient sentence. Commonwealth v. Childs, 664 A.2d 994 (Pa. Super. 1995); appeal denied 674 A.2d 1066 (Pa. 1996).

Cross References

   This section cited in 204 Pa. Code §  303.2 (relating to procedure for determining the guideline sentence); and 204 Pa. Code §  303.12 (relating to guideline sentence recommendations: sentencing programs).

§ 303.9. Guideline sentence recommendation: general.

 (a)  Basic sentence recommendations. Guideline sentence recommendations are based on the Offense Gravity Score and Prior Record Score. In most cases, the sentence recommendations are found in the Basic Sentencing Matrix (§  303.16). The Basic Sentencing Matrix specifies a range of sentences (i.e.—standard range) that shall be considered by the court for each combination of Offense Gravity Score (OGS) and Prior Record Score (PRS).

 (b)  Deadly Weapon Enhancement sentence recommendations. If the court determines that an offender possessed a deadly weapon pursuant to §  303.10(a)(1), the court shall instead consider the DWE/Possessed Matrix (§  303.17). If the court determines that an offender used a deadly weapon pursuant to §  303.10(a)(2), the court shall instead consider the DWE/Used Matrix (§  303.18). Both enhanced matrices specify a range of sentences (i.e.-standard range) that shall be considered by the court for each combination of Offense Gravity Score (OGS) and Prior Record Score (PRS).

 (c)  Youth/School Enhancement sentence recommendations. If the court determines that an offender violated the drug act pursuant to §  303.10(b), the court shall consider the applicable matrix in 303.19, related to Youth, School, or Youth and School Enhancements. When applying the Youth Enhancement, 6 months are added to the lower limit of the standard range and 12 months are added to the upper limit of the standard range. When applying the School Enhancement, 12 months are added to the lower limit of the standard range and 24 months are added to the upper limit of the standard range. When the Youth and School Enhancement is applied, 18 months are added to the bottom of the standard range and 36 months are added to the upper limit of the standard range. The range of sentences (i.e.—standard range) shall be considered by the court for each combination of Offense Gravity Score (OGS) and Prior Record Score (PRS).

 (d)  Aggravated and mitigated sentence recommendations. To determine the aggravated and mitigated sentence recommendations, apply §  303.13.

 (e)  Numeric sentence recommendations. All numbers in sentence recommendations suggest months of minimum confinement pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §  9755(b) (partial confinement) and §  9756(b) (total confinement).

 (f)  Alphabetic sentence recommendations. RS in the sentence recommendation, an abbreviation for Restorative Sanctions, suggests use of the least restrictive, nonconfinement sentencing alternatives described in 42 Pa.C.S. §  9753 (determination of guilt without further penalty), §  9754 (order of probation) and §  9758 (fine). 42 Pa.C.S.§  9721(c) (mandatory restitution) is also included in RS. No specific recommendations are provided for periods of supervision for these non-confinement sentencing alternatives. Recommendations related to fines and community service are found at §  303.14(a). RIP in the sentence recommendation, an abbreviation for Restrictive Intermediate Punishments, suggests use of Restrictive Intermediate Punishments pursuant to §  303.12(a)(4).

 (g)  When the guideline sentence recommendation exceeds that permitted by 18 Pa.C.S. §  1103 and §  1104 (relating to sentence of imprisonment for felony and misdemeanor) and 42 Pa.C.S. §  9755(b) and §  9756(b) (relating to sentence of partial and total confinement) or other applicable statute setting the maximum term of confinement, then the statutory limit is the longest guideline sentence recommendation. For the purposes of the guidelines, the statutory limit is the longest legal minimum sentence, which is one-half the maximum allowed by law.

 (h)  Mandatory sentences. The court has no authority to impose a sentence less than that required by a mandatory minimum provision established in statute. When the guideline range is lower than that required by a mandatory sentencing statute, the mandatory minimum requirement supersedes the sentence recommendation. When the sentence recommendation is higher than that required by a mandatory sentencing statute, the court shall consider the guideline sentence recommendation.

 (i)  Mandatory sentences for which county intermediate punishment is authorized. The court shall consider the sentence recommendations pursuant to this section (§  303.9) for an offender convicted under 30 Pa.C.S. §  5502 (Operating a Watercraft Under the Influence of Alcohol or a Controlled Substance), 75 Pa.C.S. §  1543(b) (Driving While Operating Privilege is Suspended or Revoked, Certain Offenses), 75 Pa.C.S. §  3802 (Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Controlled Substance) or 75 Pa.C.S. §  3808(a)(2) (Illegally Operating a Motor Vehicle Not Equipped with Ignition Interlock). The court may use a Qualified Restrictive Intermediate Punishment pursuant to §  303.12(a)(6) to satisfy the mandatory minimum requirement as provided by law.

Notes of Decisions

   Appropriate Sentence

   The sentencing court sentenced appellant within the standard under these guidelines. Irrespective of whether the sentencing court misconstrued appellant’s role in the perjury of witnesses, there was no basis to disturb the sentence as appellant was engaged in a continuing series of drug deals and had been convicted of other felonies. Commonwealth v. Viera, 659 A.2d 1024 (Pa. Super. 1995).

   Discretion

   A sentencing court has no discretion to refuse to apply the deadly weapon enhancement. Commonwealth v. Peer, 684 A.2d 1077 (Pa. Super. 1996).

   Guidelines Violated

   The sentencing court abused its discretion by unreasonably deviating from these sentencing guidelines and imposing an unreasonably lenient sentence. Commonwealth v. Childs, 664 A.2d 994 (Pa. Super. 1995).

   Mandatory Sentences

   In spite of a discrepancy between the grading of the offense in the Sentencing Guidelines and in the Motor Vehicle Code, the trial court properly followed the DUI statute in sentencing the defendant for DUI as a first-degree misdemeanor rather than a second-degree misdemeanor, where the Motor Vehicle Code provided that the Sentencing Guidelines should not supersede the mandatory penalties of the DUI statute and the Sentencing Guidelines likewise provide that the court has no authority to impose a sentence less than that required by a mandatory minimum provision established in a statute. Commonwealth v. Fogel, 741 A.2d 767 (Pa. Super. 1999).

   Partial Confinement

   It seems clear that the guideline ranges in effect at the time of defendant’s sentencing contemplated minimum sentences of either total or partial confinement; therefore, the trial court properly applied the guidelines sentencing the defendant to partial confinement for the rape conviction. Commonwealth v. Widmer, 667 A.2d 215 (Pa. Super. 1995).

   Range of Sentence

   Where the trial court sustained the defendant’s objection and eliminated specific prior convictions from his prior record score, and prior record score is one of two determinants of the applicable sentencing range, it is clear that those prior convictions had no role in determining defendant’s range of sentence. Lackawana County District Attorney v. Coss, 531 U. S. 923 (2001).

   School Enhancement

   The court vacated the judgment that sentenced appellant after appellant was convicted on a controlled substance offense and a criminal conspiracy offense because the trial court erroneously applied the school enhancement provisions to the count of criminal conspiracy. Commonwealth v. Adams, 760 A.2d 33 (Pa. Super. 2000).

   In prosecution arising out of a sale of cocaine near a parochial school, the trial court did not err in imposing a sentence applying the school enhancement provisions of the sentencing guidelines based on a measurement from the school playground area rather than from the school building, where a school encompasses not only the school building itself, but includes all of the school property located in a zone where children have access such as a school playground, and where the purpose of the school enhancement provisions is to create a drug-free zone around schools. Commonwealth v. Davis, 734 A.2d 879 (Pa. Super. 1999).

§ 303.10. Guideline sentence recommendations: enhancements.

 (a)  Deadly Weapon Enhancement.

   (1)  When the court determines that the offender possessed a deadly weapon during the commission of the current conviction offense, the court shall consider the DWE/Possessed Matrix (§  303.17). An offender has possessed a deadly weapon if any of the following were on the offender’s person or within his immediate physical control:

     (i)   Any firearm, (as defined in 42 Pa.C.S. §  9712) whether loaded or unloaded, or

     (ii)   Any dangerous weapon (as defined in 18 Pa.C.S. §  913), or

     (iii)   Any device, implement, or instrumentality designed as a weapon or capable of producing death or serious bodily injury where the court determines that the defendant intended to use the weapon to threaten or injure another individual.

   (2)  When the court determines that the offender used a deadly weapon during the commission of the current conviction offense, the court shall consider the DWE/Used Matrix (§  303.18). An offender has used a deadly weapon if any of the following were employed by the offender in a way that threatened or injured another individual:

     (i)   Any firearm, (as defined in 42 Pa.C.S. §  9712) whether loaded or unloaded, or

     (ii)   Any dangerous weapon (as defined in 18 Pa.C.S. §  913), or

     (iii)   Any device, implement, or instrumentality capable of producing death or serious bodily injury.

   (3)  There shall be no Deadly Weapon Enhancement for the following offenses:

     (i)   Possessing Instruments of Crime

     (ii)   Prohibited Offensive Weapons

     (iii)   Possession of Weapon on School Property

     (iv)   Possession of Firearm or Other Dangerous Weapon in Court Facility

     (v)   Simple Assault (18 Pa.C.S. §  2701(a)(2))

     (vi)   Aggravated Assault (18 Pa.C.S. §  2702(a)(4))

     (vii)   Theft when property stolen is a firearm (18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 39)

     (viii)   Violations of the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act

     (ix)   Any other offense for which possession of a deadly weapon is an element of the statutory definition.

   (4)  The Deadly Weapon Enhancement shall apply to each conviction offense for which a deadly weapon is possessed or used.

 (b)  Youth/School Enhancement.

   (1)  When the court determines that the offender distributed a controlled substance to a person or persons under the age of 18, the court shall consider the range of sentences described in §  303.9(c).

   (2)  When the court determines that the offender manufactured, delivered or possessed with intent to deliver a controlled substance within 250 feet of the real property on which is located a public or private elementary or secondary school, the court shall consider the range of sentences described in §  303.9(c).

   (3)  When the court determines both (b)(1) and (b)(2) apply, the court shall consider the range of sentences described in §  303.9(c).

   (4)  The Youth/School Enhancement only applies to violations of 35 P. S. §  780-113(a)(14) and (a)(30).

   (5)  The Youth/School Enhancement shall apply to each violation which meets the criteria above.

Notes of Decisions

   School Enhancement

   The court vacated the judgment that sentenced appellant after appellant was convicted on a controlled substance offense and a criminal conspiracy offense because the trial court erroneously applied the school enhancement provisions to the count of criminal conspiracy. Commonwealth v. Adams, 760 A.2d 33 (Pa. Super. 2000).

   In prosecution arising out of a sale of cocaine near a parochial school, the trial court did not err in imposing a sentence applying the school enhancement provisions of the sentencing guidelines based on a measurement from the school playground area rather than from the school building, where a school encompasses not only the school building itself, but includes all of the school property located in a zone where children have access such as a school playground, and where the purpose of the school enhancement provisions is to create a drug-free zone around schools. Commonwealth v. Davis, 734 A.2d 879 (Pa. Super. 1999).

   Weapons Enhancement

   While sentencing court erred in applying weapon enhancement ‘‘used’’ guidelines rather than ‘‘possessed’’ guidelines, court’s application of the deadly weapon enhancement for defendant convicted of robbery and criminal conspiracy was appropriate; defendant was in the immediate vicinity of co-conspirator when gun was used to threaten victim, he had knowledge of the existence of weapon, and he could easily have been given or taken the gun at any moment during the robbery. Com. v. Phillips, 946 A.2d 103, 114-115 (Pa. Super. 2008).

   Where defendant was convicted of cruelty to animals for shooting a dog, under the plain meaning of §  303.10(a)(1) (relating to guideline sentence recommendations: enhancements), the defendant possessed a firearm, as defined in that section, in the commission of the offense. Therefore, the enhancement section applies to defendant. Commonwealth v. Hackenberger, 795 A.2d 1040 (Pa. Super. 2002).

   Because a deadly weapon was used by the defendant in committing the crime of cruelty to animals, which is not an excluded offense, the deadly weapon enhancement applies even though the victim was not a person. Commonwealth v. Hackenberger, 795 A.2d 1040 (Pa. Super. 2002).

   Defendant claimed ineffective assistance of counsel when his trial attorney failed to request jury determination of whether his sentence should be subject to weapons enhancement. In accord with U. S. v. Williams, 235 F.3d 858 (3rd Cir. 2000), since defendant’s actual sentence was less than the maximum allowed by statute, he was not entitled to a jury determination of the applicability of the weapons enhancement. Commonwealth v. Lowery, 784 A.2d 795 (Pa. Super. 2001).

   Where the defendant fired a deadly weapon in connection with the offense to which he entered a guilty plea, and the court noted the standard range in light of the deadly weapon enhancement, the court’s imposition of a sentence beyond the standard range was an abuse of discretion where the record indicates the judge failed to consider all factors relevant to the determination of a proper sentence. Commonwealth v. Ritchey, 779 A.2d 1183 (Pa. Super. 2001).

   Where defendant was in close proximity to accomplice’s weapon during the entire carjacking incident, the court properly applied the deadly weapon enhancement to defendant’s carjacking sentence. Commonwealth v. Burnside, 32 Phila. 276.

§ 303.11. Guideline sentence recommendation: sentencing levels.

 (a)  Purpose of sentence. In writing the sentencing guidelines, the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing strives to provide a benchmark for the judges of Pennsylvania. The sentencing guidelines provide sanctions proportionate to the severity of the crime and the severity of the offender’s prior conviction record. This establishes a sentencing system with a primary focus on retribution, but one in which the recommendations allow for the fulfillment of other sentencing purposes including rehabilitation, deterrence, and incapacitation. To facilitate consideration of sentencing options consistent with the intent of the sentencing guidelines, the Commission has established five sentencing levels. Each level targets certain types of offenders, and describes ranges of sentencing options available to the court.

 (b)  Sentencing levels. The sentencing level is based on the standard range of the sentencing recommendation. Refer to §  303.9 to determine which sentence recommendation (i.e.—Basic, Deadly Weapon Enhancement or Youth/School Enhancement) applies. When the individual or aggregate minimum sentence recommendation includes confinement in a county facility, county intermediate punishment should be considered in lieu of confinement for an eligible offender. When the individual or aggregate minimum sentence recommendation includes confinement in a state facility, county or state intermediate punishment should be considered in lieu of confinement for an eligible offender. The descriptions of the five sentencing levels are as follows:

   (1)  Level 1—Level 1 provides sentence recommendations for the least serious offenders with no more than one prior misdemeanor conviction, such that the standard range is limited to Restorative Sanctions (RS). The primary purpose of this level is to provide the minimal control necessary to fulfill court-ordered obligations. The following sentencing option is available:

  Restorative Sanctions (§  303.9(f)) (also see §  303.14(a)(4) for Fines/ Community Service Guidelines)

   (2)  Level 2—Level 2 provides sentence recommendations for generally non-violent offenders and those with numerous less serious prior convictions, such that the standard range requires a county sentence but permits both incarceration and non-confinement. The standard range is defined as having an upper limit of less than 12 months and a lower limit of Restorative Sanctions (RS). The primary purposes of this level are control over the offender and restitution to victims. Treatment is recommended for drug dependent offenders. The following sentencing options are available:

 Total confinement in a county facility

 Partial confinement in a county facility

 County Intermediate Punishment (see §  303.12(a) for eligibility criteria)

 Restorative Sanctions (§  303.9(f)) (also see §  303.14(a)(4) for Fines/Community Service Guidelines)

 (3) Level 3—Level 3 provides sentence recommendations for serious offenders and those with numerous prior convictions, such that the standard range requires incarceration or County Intermediate Punishment, but in all cases permits a county sentence. The standard range is defined as having a lower limit of incarceration of less than 12 months. Included in Level 3 are those offenses for which a mandatory minimum sentence of 12 months or less applies and for which a state or county intermediate punishment sentence is authorized by statute. The primary purposes of this level are retribution and control over the offender. If eligible, treatment is recommended for drug dependent offenders in lieu of incarceration. The following sentencing options are available:

 Total confinement in a state facility.

 Total confinement in a state facility, with participation in the State Motivational Boot Camp (see §  303.12(b) for eligibility criteria)

 State Intermediate Punishment (see §  303.12(c) for eligibility criteria)

 Total confinement in a county facility pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §  9762(b) or for DUI if the offender is subject to the extended supervision of the court pursuant to 75 Pa.C.S. §  3804(d)

 Partial confinement in a county facility pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S §  9762(b) or for DUI if the offender is subject to the extended supervision of the court pursuant to 75 Pa.C.S. §  3804(d)

 County Intermediate Punishment (see §  303.12(a) for eligibility criteria)

   (4)  Level 4—Level 4 provides sentence recommendations for very serious offenders and those with numerous prior convictions, such that the standard range requires state incarceration but permits it to be served in a county facility pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §  9762(b). The standard range is defined as having a lower limit of incarceration of 12 months or greater but less than 30 months, but limited to offenses with an Offense Gravity Score of less than 9. Included in Level 4 are those offenses for which a mandatory minimum sentence of less than 30 months applies and for which a state or county intermediate punishment sentence is authorized by statute. The primary purposes of the sentencing options at this level are punishment and incapacitation. However, it is recognized that certain offenders at this level are permitted to serve a sentence of total confinement in a county facility, pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §  9762(b), and some non-violent offenders may benefit from drug and alcohol treatment. If eligible, state or county intermediate punishment is recommended for drug dependent offenders. The following sentencing options are available:

 Total confinement in a state facility

 Total confinement in a state facility, with participation in the State Motivational Boot Camp (see §  303.12(b) for eligibility criteria)

 State Intermediate Punishment (see §  303.12(c) for eligibility criteria)

 Total confinement in a county facility pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §  9762(b) or for DUI if the offender is subject to the extended supervision of the court pursuant to 75 Pa.C.S. §  3804(d)

 Partial confinement in a county facility pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §  9762(b) or for DUI if the offender is subject to the extended supervision of the court pursuant to 75 Pa.C.S. §  3804(d)

 County Intermediate Punishment (see §  303.12.(a) for eligibility criteria)

   (5)  Level 5—Level 5 provides sentence recommendations for the most violent offenders and those with major drug convictions, such that the conviction has an Offense Gravity Score of 9 or greater or the standard range requires state incarceration in a state facility. The standard range in such a case is defined as having a lower limit of 12 months or greater. Included in Level 5 are those offenses for which a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 months or greater applies and for which a state or county intermediate punishment sentence is authorized by statute. The primary purposes of the sentencing options at this level are punishment commensurate with the seriousness of the criminal behavior and incapacitation to protect the public. If eligible, state or county intermediate punishment is recommended for drug dependent offenders. The following sentencing options are available:

 Total confinement in a state facility

 Total confinement in a state facility, with participation in the State Motivational Boot Camp (see §  303.12(b) for eligibility criteria)

 State Intermediate Punishment (see §  303.12(c) for eligibility criteria)

 Total confinement in a county facility pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §  9762(b) or for DUI if the offender is subject to the extended supervision of the court pursuant to 75 Pa.C.S. §  3804(d)

 Partial confinement in a county facility pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. §  9762(b) or for DUI if the offender is subject to the extended supervision of the court pursuant to 75 Pa.C.S. §  3804(d)

Notes of Decisions

   Standard Range Designation

   Defendant’s conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) was a level 2 offense which Sentencing Guidelines recommended confinement in county facility; Trial Court’s sentencing of defendant to serve prison time in state correctional facility and not enumerating its reasons was contrary to Sentencing Guidelines and as such, case would be remanded for resentencing. Commonwealth v. Hartle, 894 A.2d 800 (Pa. Super. 2006).

   The standard range designated in the sentencing guidelines is the standard range for the minimum sentence. Dunn v. Colleran, 247 F.3d 450 (3rd Cir. 2001).

§ 303.12. Guideline sentence recommendations: sentencing programs.

 (a)  County intermediate punishment (CIP).

   (1)  Eligibility.

     (i)   The following regulations and statutes govern operation of and eligibility for county intermediate punishment programs:

     37 Pa. Code §  451.1 et seq.

     42 Pa.C.S. §  9763, §  9773 and Chapter 98

     204 Pa. Code §  303.8 and §  303.9

     (ii)   Sentence recommendations which include an option of County Intermediate Punishment for certain offenders are designated in the guideline matrices.

   (2)  The county intermediate punishment plan provides a mechanism to advise the court of the extent and availability of services and programs authorized in the county. This plan includes information on the appropriate classification and use of county programs based on program-specific requirements.

   (3)  County intermediate punishments classifications. In order to incorporate county intermediate punishment programs into the sentencing levels, the Commission has classified county intermediate punishment programs as Restrictive Intermediate Punishments (RIP) and restorative sanction programs. Additionally, specific county intermediate punishment programs have been identified in legislation (42 Pa.C.S. § §  9763(c) and 9804(b)) and regulation (37 Pa. Code §  451.52) as authorized sentences for convictions relating to Operating a Watercraft Under the Influence of Alcohol or a Controlled Substance, Driving While Operating Privilege is Suspended or Revoked, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Controlled Substance and Illegally Operating a Motor Vehicle Not Equipped with Ignition Interlock; the Commission has classified these programs as Qualified Restrictive Intermediate Punishments.

   (4)  Restrictive Intermediate Punishments (RIP). Restrictive Intermediate Punishments are defined as programs that provide for strict supervision of the offender. The county intermediate punishment board is required to develop assessment and evaluation procedures to assure the appropriate targeting of offenders. All programs must meet the minimum standards provided in the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency regulations (37 Pa. Code Chapter 451) for county intermediate punishments.

     (i)   Restrictive Intermediate Punishments (RIP) either:

       (A)   house the offender full or part time; or

       (B)   significantly restrict the offender’s movement and monitor the offender’s compliance with the program(s); or

       (C)   involve a combination of programs that meet the standards set forth above.

     (ii)   An offender under consideration for Restrictive Intermediate Punishments at Level 4 or Level 3 shall have a diagnostic assessment of dependency on alcohol or other drugs conducted by one of the following: the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs (BDAP) or a designee; the county authority on drugs and alcohol or a designee; or clinical personnel of a facility licensed by the Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs.

     (iii)   An offender assessed to be dependent shall be evaluated for purposes of a treatment recommendation by one of the above listed assessors. The evaluation shall take into account the level of motivation of the offender. If sentenced to a Restrictive Intermediate Punishment, the sentence shall be consistent with the level of care and length of stay prescribed in the treatment recommendation, regardless of the standard range sentencing recommendation.

     (iv)   An offender assessed as not in need of drug or alcohol treatment may be placed in any approved Restrictive Intermediate Punishment program. Each day of participation in a Restrictive Intermediate Punishment program or combination of programs shall be considered the equivalent of one day of total confinement for guideline sentence recommendations.

     (v)   The court may impose a Qualified Restrictive Intermediate Punishment in lieu of incarceration for certain convictions under 75 Pa.C.S. §  3802 (relating to Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Controlled Substance).

   (5)  Restorative sanction programs. Restorative sanction programs are the least restrictive, non-confinement intermediate punishments. Restorative sanction programs are generally used in conjunction with Restrictive Intermediate Punishments as the level of supervision is reduced, but may also be used as separate sanctions under any of the non-confinement sentencing alternatives provided in the statute (see §  303.9(f)).

     (i)   Restorative sanction programs:

       (A)   are the least restrictive in terms of constraint of offender’s liberties;

       (B)   do not involve the housing of the offender (either full or part time); and

       (C)   focus on restoring the victim to pre-offense status.

   (6)  Qualified Restrictive Intermediate Punishments. In accordance with 42 Pa.C.S. § §  9763(c), 9804(b) and 37 Pa. Code §  451, Qualified Restrictive Intermediate Punishment programs may be used to satisfy the mandatory minimum sentencing requirements of certain convictions under 30 Pa.C.S. §  5502(c.1) for a first, second or third offense under 30 Pa.C.S. §  5502, 75 Pa.C.S. §  1543(b), former 75 Pa.C.S. §  3731, 75 Pa.C.S. §  3804 for a first, second or third offense under 75 Pa.C.S. Chapter 38, or 75 Pa.C.S. §  3808(a)(2) Illegally Operating a Motor Vehicle Not Equipped with Ignition Interlock.

     (i)   Unless otherwise provided in statute, Qualified Restrictive Intermediate Punishment programs include:

       (A)   if the defendant is determined to be in need of drug and alcohol treatment, and receives a penalty imposed under 75 Pa.C.S. §  1543(b), former 75 Pa.C.S. §  3731, 75 Pa.C.S. §  3804, or 75 Pa.C.S. §  3808(a)(2) a sentence to county intermediate punishment shall include participation in drug and alcohol treatment under 75 Pa.C.S. §  3815(c), and may be combined with:

        1.   a residential inpatient program or residential rehabilitative center;

        2.   house arrest with electronic surveillance;

        3.   a partial confinement program such as work release, a work camp or a halfway facility; or

        4.   any combination of Qualified Restrictive Intermediate Punishment programs.

       (B)   if the defendant is determined not to be in need of drug and alcohol treatment, or if the defendant receives a penalty imposed under 30 Pa.C.S. §  5502(c.1), a sentence to county intermediate punishment may only include:

        1.   house arrest with electronic surveillance; or

        2.   partial confinement programs such as work release, a work camp or a halfway facility; or

        3.   any combination of Qualified Restrictive Intermediate Punishment programs.

 (b)  State Motivational Boot Camp (BC).

   (1)  Eligibility.

     (i)   The following statute governs operation of and eligibility for the State Motivational Boot Camp: 61 Pa.C.S Chapter 39.

     (ii)   Sentence recommendations which include boot camp eligible offenders are designated by the letters BC in the cells of the Basic Sentencing Matrix (§  303.16).

   (2)  The court shall indicate on the offender’s commitment order and the Guideline Sentence Form if the offender is authorized as eligible for the boot camp program. The Department of Corrections makes the final determination as to whether the offender will be accepted into the boot camp program.

 (c)  State Intermediate Punishment (SIP).

   (1)  Eligibility.

     (i)   The following statute governs operation of and eligibility for State Intermediate Punishment: 61 Pa.C.S. Chapter 41.

     (ii)   Any person convicted of a drug-related offense for which the sentence recommendation includes total confinement in a state facility may be considered for state intermediate punishment.

   (2)  The court may, upon motion of the Commonwealth and agreement of the defendant, commit a defendant to the custody of the Department of Corrections for the purpose of evaluating whether the defendant would benefit from a drug offender treatment program and whether treatment in a drug offender treatment program is appropriate.

   (3)  Upon receipt of a recommendation for placement in a drug offender treatment program and an individualized treatment plan from the Department of Corrections, and agreement of the attorney for the Commonwealth and the defendant, the court may sentence an eligible offender to a period of 24 months of state intermediate punishment.

   (4)  The court may impose a consecutive period of probation. The total duration of a sentence of state intermediate punishment and consecutive probation may not exceed the maximum term for which the eligible offender could otherwise be sentenced.

   Alternative Housing

   When the county had designated alternative housing as intermediate punishment, the trial court could not sentence appellant to alternative housing for a crime which carries a mandatory minimum sentence. Commonwealth v. Koskey, 812 A.2d 509 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2002).

   Home Confinement with Electronic Monitoring

Notes of Decisions

   Imposition of Fine

   A defendant’s contention that the court imposed a $5,000 fine because the cash was related to crime and that he, therefore, can only be deprived of it through forfeiture proceedings, was without merit, where it is entirely appropriate for a court to impose a fine designed to exhaust assets used in the commission of an offense and, in fact, the Sentencing Guidelines require the court to consider imposing such a fine in certain instances. Commonwealth v. Lebo, 713 A.2d 1158 (Pa. Super. 1998); appeal denied 737 A.2d 741 (Pa. 1999).

 1. Designated areas of the matrix indicate restrictive intermediate punishments may be imposed as a substitute for incarceration.

 2. When restrictive intermediate punishments are appropriate, the duration of the restrictive intermediate punishment programs are recommended not to exceed the guideline ranges.

 3. When the range is RS through a number of months (e.g. RS-6), RIP may be appropriate.

 4. All numbers in sentence recommendations suggest months of minimum confinement pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. 9755(b) and 9756(b).

 5. Statutory classification (e.g., F1, F2, etc.) in brackets reflect the omnibus OGS assignment for the given grade.

Key:
BC = boot camp RIP = restrictive intermediate punishments
CNTY = county RS = restorative sanctions
INCAR = incarceration SBI = serious bodily injury
PWID = possession with intent to deliver SL = statutory limit (longest minimum sentence)
REVOC = repeat violent offender category [tilde ] = no recommendation (aggravated sentence would exceed statutory limit)

Notes of Decisions

   Consecutive Sentence

   In imposing a sentence, the trial judge may determine whether, given the facts of a particular case, a sentence should run consecutive to or concurrent with another sentence being imposed; trial judge clearly disclosed his reasons for sentencing appellant to consecutive sentences, i.e., appellant sold an unregistered security to 69 elderly victims, defrauding them of over $2.5 million and causing them great hardship and financial distress. Commonwealth v. Perry, 883 A.2d 599, 603—604 (Pa. Super. 2005).

   Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

   Trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by not filing a post-sentence motion challenging excessiveness of defendant’s sentence for drug offenses; defendant was sentenced to a minimum of 120 months which was over five times the aggravated sentence of 22 months. Commonwealth v. Green, 957 A.2d 1238, 1242 (Pa. Super. 2008).

   Range of Sentence

   The standard range designated in the sentencing guidelines is the standard range for the minimum sentence. Dunn v. Colleran, 247 F.3d 450 (3rd Cir. 2001).

   Sentencing Outside Guideline Recommendations

   Sentencing court abused its discretion in imposing the statutory maximum sentences on each respective criminal court where the court failed to make a legally sufficient contemporaneous statement on the record and where the court advanced reasons for imposing a sentence in the aggravated range and then imposed sentence outside of the guidelines.

Notes of Decisions

   Sentence Outside Guidelenes’ Recommendations

   Where the defendant fired a deadly weapon in connection with the offense to which he entered a guilty plea, and the court noted the standard range in light of the deadly weapon enhancement, the court’s imposition of a sentence beyond the standard range was an abuse of discretion where the record indicates the judge failed to consider all factors relevant to the determination of a proper sentence. Commonwealth v. Ritchey, 779 A.2d 1183 (Pa. Super. 2001).
