When the defense or State can show that a finding of a delinquent act did not result in the youth’s adjudication as delinquent at a juvenile disposition hearing, the finding of a delinquent act shall not be scored as a part of the juvenile record.
(c)
The juvenile delinquency record may not include adjudications based on acts that are no longer crimes.
(d)
The individual completing the worksheet shall treat an incarcerable traffic offense in which the court finds a juvenile involved as part of his or her juvenile record.
(e)
The individual completing the worksheet shall assign a score of 0 if an offender is 23 years or older by the date of the most recent instant offense. The individual completing the worksheet shall assign a score of 0 if an offender has zero findings of a delinquent act within 5 years of the date of the most recent instant offense.
(f)
The individual completing the worksheet shall assign a score of 1 if an offender:
(i)
Is younger than 23 years old on the date of the most recent instant offense; and
(ii)
Has one or two findings of a delinquent act within 5 years of the date of the most recent instant offense.
(g)

(3)
Prior Adult Criminal Record.
(a)
In General.
(i)
Except as noted in this paragraph, the prior adult criminal record includes all adjudications preceding the current sentencing event, whether the offense was committed before, during, or after the instant offense(s). The prior adult criminal record shall not include: adjudications that were expunged from the record or proven by the defense to have been eligible for expungement as a matter of right prior to the date of offense pursuant to Subtitle 1 (Expungement of Police and Court Records) of Title 10 (Criminal Records) of the Criminal Procedure Article, Annotated Code of Maryland; violations of public local laws; municipal infractions; contempt; criminal nonsupport; adjudications based on acts that are no longer crimes (e.g., cannabis possession); non-incarcerable traffic offenses; military adjudications imposed by an Article 15 proceeding or summary court-martial; findings of guilt by general or special courts-martial, if the elements of the offense require the defendant’s service in a military force, including but not limited to desertion, absence without leave (AWOL), and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, or do not constitute an offense under Maryland law; or more than one adjudication arising from a single criminal event.
(ii)
The sentencing guidelines and offense table in effect at the time of the current sentencing event shall be used to determine the correct seriousness category for each adjudication included in the calculation of the prior adult criminal record.
(iii)
If a Maryland offense has not been assigned a seriousness category and the offense has a maximum penalty of 1 year or less, the offense shall be assigned the lowest seriousness category (VII).
(iv)
If a Maryland offense has not been assigned a seriousness category (and the offense has a maximum penalty of more than one year) or has been repealed from the Annotated Code of Maryland, but the act on which the repealed offense is based is still a crime, the individual completing the worksheet shall use the closest analogous offense and the sentencing judge and the parties shall be notified.
(b)
Criteria.
(i)
The individual completing the worksheet shall use the instructions and table below to determine whether a defendant's prior criminal adult record is minor, moderate, or major. If the defendant has no prior adult criminal record, the individual completing the worksheet shall assign a score of 0. If the defendant has a minor adult criminal record, the individual completing the worksheet shall assign a score of 1. If the defendant has a moderate criminal record, the individual completing the worksheet shall assign a score of 3. If the defendant has a major criminal record, the individual completing the worksheet shall assign a score of 5.
(ii)
The individual completing the worksheet shall count the number of prior adjudications according to the seriousness categories. If prior multiple adjudications relate to a single criminal event, the individual completing the worksheet shall score only the offense with the highest seriousness category. The prior adult criminal record shall score no more than one adjudication stemming from a single criminal event.
(iii)
Taking the number of adjudications in the most serious category of offenses, the individual completing the worksheet shall refer to the table below and locate the block containing the number of adjudications for that seriousness category.
(iv)
The individual completing the worksheet shall use the criteria in the identified block to classify the record as Minor, Moderate, or Major.
(v)
Criteria Matrix.
(c)
Different Criminal Events Sentenced Together. If multiple offenses from different criminal events are being sentenced together at this sentencing event, the offender's criminal record includes any adjudication before the current sentencing and is the same for each offense being sentenced at this time.
(d)
Adjudications Out of Jurisdiction. If an offender has an out of jurisdiction adjudication, excluding military adjudications (see §B(3)(e) of this regulation for instructions for scoring military adjudications), the individual completing the worksheet shall match the offense as closely as possible to the closest analogous Maryland offense. If no Maryland analogous offense exists, the individual completing the worksheet shall count the offense in the lowest seriousness category (VII), and shall inform the judge and parties. If the out of jurisdiction adjudication is based on act that is not a criminal violation in Maryland (e.g., cannabis possession), then the out of jurisdiction adjudication shall be excluded from the prior adult criminal record. If there is a question as to the analogous guidelines offense for an out-of-State adjudication, that question shall be brought to the attention of the judge at sentencing.
(e)
Military Adjudications. If an offender has a finding of guilt by a general or special court-martial, the military adjudication shall be matched as closely as possible to the closest analogous Maryland offense. If a military adjudication has no equivalent in Maryland law or requires as an element of the offense the defendant’s service in a military force, including but not limited to desertion, absence without leave (AWOL), and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, the offense shall be excluded from the adult prior criminal record. If there is a question as to the analogous guidelines offense for a military adjudication, that question shall be brought to the attention of the judge at sentencing.
(f)
Theft-Type Offenses. Theft adjudications, such as larceny, larceny by trick, or larceny after trust, that took place before the enactment of the comprehensive theft statute in 1978 are considered misdemeanor theft if they were misdemeanors and felony theft if they were felonies.
(g)
Criminal Record Decay Factor. If an offender has lived in the community for at least 10 years prior to the instant offense without criminal justice system involvement resulting from an adjudication or a plea of nolo contendere, the criminal record shall be reduced by one level: from Major to Moderate, from Moderate to Minor, or from Minor to None. An offender was in the criminal justice system if the offender was on parole, on probation, incarcerated, on work release, on mandatory supervision, was an escapee, or had a comparable status. An offender is not considered to be in the criminal justice system if the offender was on unsupervised probation for an offense not punishable by imprisonment.
(h)
Conspiracies, Attempts, Solicitations, and Accessoryships.
(i)
The individual completing the worksheet shall place conspiracies, attempts, and solicitations in the same seriousness category as the substantive offense unless placed in a different category or specifically addressed by separate statute.
(ii)
For conspiracy to commit a lawful act by unlawful means, the seriousness category and offense type classification shall be the same as the most serious unlawful means by which the lawful act was to be accomplished. If there is a question as to the seriousness category or offense type classification for the conspiracy to commit a lawful act by unlawful means, that question shall be brought to the attention of the judge at sentencing.
(iii)
If accessory after the fact has a penalty of 5 years or greater under Criminal Law Article, §1-301, Annotated Code of Maryland, a seriousness category V shall be assigned, unless the underlying offense has a seriousness category of less than V, in which case the accessory after the fact shall be assigned the same seriousness category as the underlying offense.
(iv)
If accessory after the fact has a penalty of less than 5 years under Criminal Law Article, §1-301, Annotated Code of Maryland, the seriousness category shall be the same category as the underlying offense.
(4)
Prior Adult Parole/Probation Violations.
(a)
The individual completing the worksheet shall assign a score of 0 if the offender has never been on adult parole, probation, or equivalent supervisory status, or has successfully completed previous periods of supervision as an adult.
(b)
The individual completing the worksheet shall assign a score of 1 if the offender was ever found by a court to have violated parole, probation, or equivalent supervisory status, or if the offender has ever received an adjudication for an offense while on parole, probation, or equivalent supervisory status, unless the adjudication arose from the offense or offenses of this sentencing event. The individual completing the worksheet may not assign a point simply because the offender was on parole, probation, or equivalent supervisory status at the time of the instant offense.
C.
Total Offender Score. To obtain the total offender score, the individual completing the worksheet shall add the points assigned to each element of the offender score. The maximum offender score is 9 and the minimum score is 0.

Regulation .11 Determining the Guidelines Sentence.Copy Citation

A.
Guidelines Range. After the offense and offender scores have been calculated for each offense, 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 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 offense is in the cell where the two scores intersect.
(2)
Sentencing Matrix for Offenses Against Persons.
D.
Drug Offenses.
(1)
To find the recommended guidelines sentence for a drug offense, the individual completing the worksheet shall use the sentencing matrix for drug offenses. The guideline range for a particular instant offense is in the cell opposite the seriousness category for that offense and under the applicable offender score.
(2)
Sentencing Matrix for Drug Offenses.
E.
Property Offenses.
(1)
To find the recommended guidelines sentence for a property offense, the individual completing the worksheet shall use the sentencing matrix for property offenses. The guidelines range for a particular offense is in the cell opposite the seriousness category for that offense and under the applicable offender score.
(2)
Sentencing Matrix for Property Offenses.

Regulation .12 Multiple Offense Scoring.Copy Citation

A.
Single Criminal Event, Not More Than One Seriousness Category I or II Offense.
(1)
The individual completing the worksheet shall calculate the guidelines range for each offense.
(2)
The individual completing the worksheet shall determine the overall guideline range by:
(a)
Identifying the highest of the lower guidelines limit of all the offenses; and
(b)
Identifying the greater of:
(i)
The highest of the upper guidelines limits;
(ii)
If there are separate offenses involving different victims, adding or “stacking” the highest of the upper guidelines limit for each offense with a unique victim. Only one offense per distinct victim may be used to calculate the overall guidelines range. Pursuant to Criminal Law Article, §10-627, Annotated Code of Maryland, each animal harmed in violation of Criminal Law Article, Title 10, Subtitle 6, Annotated Code of Maryland, shall be considered a victim for the purposes of applying the multiple victims stacking rule; or
(iii)
If the sentence for one of the offenses is statutorily required to run consecutive to the sentence for another offense, adding the upper limit of the guidelines range for the offense whose sentence is required to run consecutive to another offense to the upper limit of the guidelines range for the eligible other offense with the highest upper guidelines limit.
B.
Single Criminal Event, Two or More Seriousness Category I or II Offenses.
(1)
The individual completing the worksheet shall calculate the guidelines range for each offense.
(2)
The individual completing the worksheet shall determine the overall guidelines range by adding the guidelines ranges for each offense in Seriousness Category I or II.
(3)
Any combinations of sentences imposed, concurrent or consecutive, are within the guidelines when the net time to be served (that is, the initial sentence minus suspended sentence) falls within the overall guideline range.
C.
Multiple Criminal Events, One Offense in Each Event.
(1)
The individual completing the worksheet shall arrange the offenses in chronological order beginning with the one committed first.
(2)
The individual completing the worksheet shall calculate the guideline range for each event’s offenses. With the possible exception of part A (relationship to the criminal justice system), the offender score calculated for the first event is the same for all succeeding events, as long as they are being sentenced at the same time.
(3)
The individual completing the worksheet shall determine the overall guidelines range by adding the ranges for each event.
(4)
Any combinations of sentences imposed, concurrent or consecutive, are within the guidelines when the net time to be served (that is, the initial sentence minus suspended sentence) falls within the overall guideline range.
D.
Multiple Criminal Events With Multiple Offenses Within One or More Event or Events.
(1)
The individual completing the worksheet shall arrange the events in chronological order, beginning with the offense or offenses committed in the first event.
(2)
The individual completing the worksheet shall calculate the guidelines range for each offense in the first event.
(3)
The individual completing the worksheet shall determine the overall guidelines range for the first criminal event as if there were only one event, but may not enter it on the worksheet.
(4)
The individual completing the worksheet shall repeat the instruction of §D(2) and (3) of this regulation for each succeeding criminal event. With the possible exception of part A (relationship to the criminal justice system), the offender score calculated for the first event is the same for all succeeding events, as long as they are being sentenced at the same time.
(5)
After determining the overall guidelines range for each criminal event, the individual completing the worksheet shall add the ranges to determine the overall guidelines range for the entire case.
(6)
Any combinations of sentences imposed, concurrent or consecutive, are within the guidelines when the net time to be served (that is, the initial sentence minus suspended sentence) falls within the overall guideline range.

Regulation .13 Presentence Detention.Copy Citation

When a defendant has been incarcerated before sentencing, the judge shall indicate the detention under “Actual Sentence”. The judge shall indicate either the number of days credit for time served or the date on which the sentence is to begin.

Regulation .14 Mandatory Sentences.Copy Citation

A.
Statutory Maximums. If the guidelines sentence range exceeds the statutory maximum for a given offense, the statutory maximum is the upper limit of the guidelines range.
B.
Mandatory Minimums. If the guidelines range is below the nonsuspendable mandatory minimum, that minimum is the lower limit of the guidelines range.
C.
First Degree Murder. The adjusted guidelines range for first degree murder is always a term of “life to life” and should replace the calculated guidelines range.
D.
Mandatory Consecutive Sentences. When there is a criminal event with multiple offenses, no more than one seriousness category I or II offense, and the sentence for one of the offenses is statutorily required to run consecutive to the sentence for another offense in the same criminal event, the person completing the sentencing guidelines worksheet shall add the upper limit of the guidelines range for the offense whose sentence is required to run consecutive to another offense to the upper limit of the guidelines range for the eligible other offense to obtain the upper limit of the overall guidelines range. Whenever the sentence for an offense is statutorily required to run consecutive to the sentence for more than one other offense in the criminal event, the person filling out the worksheet shall add the upper limit of the guidelines range for that offense to the upper limit of the guidelines range for the eligible offense with the highest upper guidelines limit. When there is a criminal event with multiple offenses with mandatory consecutive sentences, the upper limit of the overall guidelines range shall equal the sum of the upper limits of the one pair of offenses whose sum is the greatest.

Regulation .15 Subsequent Offenses.Copy Citation

A.
In General. Enhanced punishment law for subsequent offenses takes precedence over guidelines ranges if not otherwise provided for in these regulations. If sentencing is pursuant to an enhanced punishment statute, the individual completing the worksheet shall specify the statute.
B.
Subsequent Drug Offense. When the statutory penalty for a drug offense is doubled under Criminal Law Article, §5-905, Annotated Code of Maryland, the guidelines range for that offense is also doubled. If the upper limit of the calculated guidelines range exceeds the doubled statutory maximum for the offense, the doubled statutory maximum is the upper limit of the guidelines range. Likewise, if the lower limit of the calculated guidelines range exceeds the doubled statutory maximum for the offense, the doubled statutory maximum is the lower and upper limit of the guidelines range.
C.
Subsequent Crime of Violence. When a non-suspendable mandatory minimum sentence for a crime of violence has been invoked pursuant to Criminal Law Article, §14-101, Annotated Code of Maryland, that mandatory minimum takes precedence over the lower limit and, possibly, the upper limit of the guidelines range, if the mandatory minimum exceeds the calculated lower or upper limit of the range. In this scenario, the lower limit of the range (and possibly the upper limit of the range) is replaced by the mandatory minimum.
D.
Subsequent Violation of Use of a Firearm or Assault Weapon in the Commission of a Felony or Crime of Violence. When an individual is being sentenced for multiple violations, including contemporaneous violations, of Criminal Law Article, §4-204, Annotated Code of Maryland (use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence or any felony) or Criminal Law Article, §4-306, Annotated Code of Maryland (use of an assault weapon in the commission of a felony or crime of violence), the guidelines for all but the first violation of each offense shall be calculated pursuant to Criminal Law Article, §4-204(c)(2), Annotated Code of Maryland, or Criminal Law Article, §4-306(b)(3), Annotated Code of Maryland, respectively, both of which provide penalties for subsequent violations.
E.
Other Subsequent Offenses. When an enhanced penalty for any other subsequent offense has been invoked, providing for an enhanced statutory maximum and/or mandatory minimum, the guidelines shall be calculated according to the rules set forth in these regulations with respect to the offense’s statutory maximum and/or any applicable mandatory minimum.

Regulation .16 Maryland Sentencing Guidelines Manual.Copy Citation

1 At the time of the offense, if more than 5 years has elapsed since the person completed serving the sentence for the most recent conviction of a crime of violence or select drug crimes (including all imprisonment, mandatory supervision, probation, and parole), the imposition of the mandatory minimum sentence is within the discretion of the court.
MM* = Non-suspendable mandatory minimum penalty
♦ Defined as a violent crime in Correctional Services Article, §7-101, Annotated Code of Maryland. At the time of imposition of a sentence of incarceration for these offenses, Criminal Procedure Article, §6-217, Annotated Code of Maryland indicates the Court shall state in open court the minimum time the defendant must serve before becoming eligible for parole.
♦♦ Defined as a crime of violence only under certain circumstances specified in Criminal Law Article, §14-101, Annotated Code of Maryland.
General Rules:
(a)
If a Maryland offense has not been assigned a seriousness category and the offense has a maximum penalty of 1 year or less, the offense shall be assigned the lowest seriousness category (VII).
(b)
If a Maryland offense has not been assigned a seriousness category and the offense has a maximum penalty greater than 1 year, the individual completing the worksheet shall use the closest analogous offense and the sentencing judge and parties shall be notified.
(c)
For Prior Record calculations involving an out of jurisdiction adjudication, the individual completing the worksheet shall match the offense as closely as possible to the closest analogous Maryland offense. If no Maryland analogous offense exists, the individual completing the worksheet shall count the offense in the lowest seriousness category (VII), and shall inform the judge and parties. If the out of jurisdiction adjudication is based on an act that is not a criminal violation in Maryland (e.g., cannabis possession), then the out of jurisdiction adjudication shall be excluded from the prior adult criminal record. If there is a question as to the analogous guidelines offense for an out-of-State adjudication, that question should be brought to the attention of the judge at sentencing.
