- β’Grid-Based Felony Sentencing: For felony Assault IV, sentences are determined by the Oregon Sentencing Guidelines Grid, which considers both the crime seriousness level (4) and criminal history.
- β’Presumptive Range: The calculated range for felonies represents the presumptive sentence. Courts may depart from this range based on aggravating or mitigating factors.
- 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.
