Introduced by: Ryan T. McDougle SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED: Discretionary sentencing guideline midpoints; possession of child pornography. Raises the midpoint of the recommended sentencing range for possession of child pornography by - (i) 100 percent in cases in which the defendant has no previous conviction of a violent felony offense; - (ii) 200 percent in cases in which the defendant has previously been convicted of a violent felony offense punishable by a maximum punishment of less than 40 years; and - (iii) 400 percent in cases in which the defendant has previously been convicted of a violent felony offense punishable by a maximum punishment of 40 years or more. - The bill also requires a court that imposes a sentence that is less than the midpoint of the sentencing guidelines to review all child pornography possessed by the defendant. :-) I WANNA BE A JUUUUUUUDGE ! |
