Felony Sentencing in Oregon Updates (January 2022)

Product description:

The Felony Sentencing in Oregon updates are authored by Jesse Barton.

These Updates to the “silver anniversary” (sixth) edition of this manual analyzes the Oregon Felony Sentencing Guidelines from their November 1, 1989 inception through their 2019 version, along with related statutes and constitutional provisions. The manual also analyzes significant case law issued through December 3, 2021.

Since the July 2021 Updates, there have been four significant legal developments, three of which impair mass-incarceration policies. First among them is Senate Bill 819 (enrolled as Oregon Laws 2021, chapter 414), which the Chapter 9 Update discusses. The bill took effect on January 1, 2022. The legislature’s Committee on Judiciary and Ballot Measure 110 Implementation sponsored the bill at the request of the Lewis and Clark Law School’s Criminal Justice Reform Clinic, whose director is Professor Aliza Kaplan. The bill has taken a significant step in retracting the state’s mass-incarceration policies. It does so by vacating or reducing convictions, and by reducing sentences by authorizing courts to reconsider sentences that “no longer advance[] the interests of justice.” Or Laws 2021, ch 414, § 1(1)(a). Read the updates for the rest of the story.
 

Note: The Chapter 4 Update, Prison Sentences and Post-Prison Supervision, includes a “Defendant's Motion Limine to Dismiss Prosecution's Alleged Aggravated Factors” (electronic version includes Word and RTF format for your use).

The PDF version of the updates is provided as a single PDF file.
