Important Considerations
- β’Grid-Based Sentencing: Unlike Measure 11 offenses, Assault III sentences are determined by the Oregon Sentencing Guidelines Grid, which considers both the crime seriousness level and criminal history.
- β’Presumptive Range: The calculated range represents the presumptive sentence. Courts may depart from this range based on aggravating or mitigating factors.
- β’Probation Option: For defendants with lower criminal history categories, probation (rather than prison) may be the presumptive sentence.
- β’Post-Prison Supervision: If sentenced to prison, you will typically face 36 months (3 years) of post-prison supervision after release.
- β’Aggravating vs. Mitigating Factors: This calculator focuses on aggravating factors. Mitigating factors (mental health, remorse, victim relationship, etc.) may also influence sentencing but are not captured by this tool.
- β’Consecutive vs. Concurrent Sentences: If convicted of multiple counts or offenses, sentences may run consecutively (one after another) or concurrently (at the same time). This calculator addresses a single count of Assault III.
- β’Not a Substitute for Legal Advice: This calculator provides educational information only. Always consult with a qualified Oregon criminal defense attorney for advice specific to your case.
