SENTENCING GUIDELINES

Appendix 1. Mandatory and Presumptive Sentences Reference Table

This table is for convenience when applying mandatory sentences (section 2.E) and presumptive sentences (section 2.C). It is not exhaustive.

Presumptive disposition. Commitment.

Presumptive duration. Mandatory minimum or the duration in the appropriate cell on the applicable Grid, whichever is longer.

Attempts and conspiracies. Mandatory sentences generally apply to attempted offenses under Minnesota Statutes, section 609.17, and conspiracies under Minnesota Statutes, section 609.175. Mandatory minimums are not divided in half. The presumptive duration is the mandatory minimum duration found in statute or one-half of the duration in the appropriate cell on the applicable Grid, whichever is longer. (See section 2.G for more information on convictions for attempts, conspiracies and offenses with other sentence modifiers.)
