BILL · 1993–94 SESSION

SB 5536: Exceptional sentences

Specifying additional aggravating circumstances justifying an exceptional sentence.

Summary

  • The court may impose an exceptional sentence if the defendant is convicted of an offense involving the use or threatened use of physical force and the court finds the defendant poses a future danger which is not sufficiently mitigated by incarceration within the standard range. This finding must be supported by a history of similar misconduct, and a finding that the defendant is not amenable to treatment.
