Sentencing Guidelines Offense Table (Updated 11/2/20) Appendix A Sentencing Guidelines Offense Table (Updated 11/2/20) Appendix A contains a table of guidelines offenses including their CJIS code, statutory source, seriousness category, and penalties. If an offense is not listed in Appendix A and the offense has a maximum penalty of one year or less, the offense should be identified as a category VII offense. If an offense is not listed in Appendix A and the maximum penalty is greater than one year, the individual completing the worksheet should use the seriousness category for the closest analogous offense and the sentencing judge and the parties should be notified. If there are any questions about how to categorize or score an offense, please call the Maryland State Commission on Criminal Sentencing Policy staff at (301) 403-4165.

  • Natural Persons, Juridical Persons and Legal Personhood
    Esta revista forma parte del acervo de la Biblioteca Jurídica Virtual del Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas de la UNAM www.juridicas.unam.mx http://biblio.juridicas.unam.mx exican M Review aw L New Series V O L U M E VIII Number 1 NATURAL PERSONS, JURIDICAL PERSONS AND LEGAL PERSONHOOD Elvia Arcelia QUINTANA ADRIANO* ABSTRACT. The study of commercial law can be divided into four basic ca- tegories: (a) individuals (natural persons); (b) objects of commerce; (c) legal instruments and (d) administrative and legal procedures. Business relations bet- ween individuals and business entities requires significant legal documentation, including atypical or nonstandard business contracts. A central feature of all business transactions is the “legal entity”, used by organizations worldwide to conduct business. In order for many businesses to carry out routine activities, they must have many of the same legal rights and responsibilities as natural persons. In a word, these entities require “legal personhood”. Which leads us to the question of Legitimation. The most widely used legal instruments are nons- tandardized business contracts. In essense, this is the delineation of contracting parties as entities with well-defined rights and obligations. This authority de- pends, in turn, on the legitimacy of the “personhood” of the contracting parties, which is often a point of dispute in business relations. Regardless of whether one accepts the use of terms “legal entity” and “legal personhood”, they often give rise to immeasurable and diverse conflicts domestically, regional and at global level. This had led to efforts to improve the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce and improve legal models that provide guidance to di- verse nations.

  • People V Gillis, Unpublished Opinion Per Curiam of the Court of Appeals, Issued
    Michigan Supreme Court Lansing, Michigan Chief Justice: Justices: Clifford W. Taylor Michael F. Cavanagh Elizabeth A. Weaver Marilyn Kelly Opinion Maura D. Corrigan Robert P. Young, Jr. Stephen J. Markman FILED APRIL 5, 2006 PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v No. 127194 JOHN ALBERT GILLIS, Defendant-Appellee. _______________________________ BEFORE THE ENTIRE BENCH MARKMAN, J. We granted leave to appeal to consider whether our state’s first-degree murder statute permits a felony-murder conviction “in the perpetration of” a first- or second-degree home invasion in which the homicide occurs several miles away from the dwelling and several minutes after defendant departed from the dwelling. Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of two counts of first- degree felony murder, MCL 750.316(1)(b), with home invasion in the first degree, MCL 750.110a, as the predicate felony. Defendant appealed the convictions, asserting that he was no longer “in the perpetration” of home invasion at the time of the automobile collision that killed the victims. The Court of Appeals concluded that the accident was not “part of the continuous transaction of or immediately connected to the home invasion[,]” and, therefore, vacated the convictions and remanded for a new trial on the charges of second-degree murder. People v Gillis, unpublished opinion per curiam of the Court of Appeals, issued August 17, 2004 (Docket No. 245012), slip op at 3. We conclude that “perpetration” encompasses acts by a defendant that occur outside the definitional elements of the predicate felony and includes acts that occur during the unbroken chain of events surrounding that felony.

  • Investigation of Armed Home Invasion Robberies Leads to Arrest of 5 Suspects
    Palos Verdes Estates Police Department Press Release Mark Velez Chief of Police Investigation of armed home invasion robberies leads to arrest of 5 suspects On March 2, 2018, Palos Verdes Estates Police Department officers responded to a report of an armed home invasion robbery in the 700 block of Via La Cuesta. Officers and detectives arrived and documented this violent crime, examined forensic evidence and started an investigation. On July 8, 2018, PVEPD officers responded to another report of an armed home invasion robbery, which oc- curred in the 1300 block of Via Coronel. PVEPD officers and detectives again responded. Our detec- tives analyzed evidence from both scenes and believed both crimes were committed by the same suspects. Through an intense analysis of evidence and data, our detectives were able to identify 5 suspects who they believed to be associated with a South Los Angeles gang. With the assistance of the Tor- rance Police Department, hundreds of hours of surveillance was conducted and additional infor- mation was developed. Our detectives contacted other agencies who had similar home invasion rob- beries. PVEPD detectives developed enough evidence to believe this robbery crew was responsible for an additional 6 home invasion robberies committed in various cities throughout Los Angeles county. These cities included Rancho Palos Verdes, La Habra Heights, La Canada, Playa Del Rey and Palmdale. The estimated loss of these robberies was 1 million dollars. After this intense, fo- cused investigation and collaboration with allied agencies and the LA County District Attorney’s Of- fice, PVEPD detectives obtained arrest and search warrants.

  • CRIME How to Respond to Unlawful Behaviour Crime Is an Undeniable Part of Our Lives; Unfortunately We May Find Ourselves Victims
    CRIME How to respond to unlawful behaviour Crime is an undeniable part of our lives; unfortunately we may find ourselves victims, perpetrators or witnesses of illegal actions varying in severity. To better understand the legality of certain actions (and inactions) is to be able to make ethical decisions to improve the safety in our communities. Are all crimes the same? NO. There are two categories of offences in the Criminal Code: indictable and summary. The category determines the jurisdiction of trial courts (provincial or superior), the possibility of having a jury trial or a preliminary inquiry, the application of limitation periods and the default maximum penalties. Summary offences are commonly known as the lesser offences. They carry a default maximum penalty (i.e. if not specified in the provision) of 6 months imprisonment and/or 5 000$ fine. They are subject to a limitation period of 6 months to start the prosecution. Indictable offences are commonly known as the most serious offences. They carry a default maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment. Subject to certain exceptions, there is no statute of limitations. What do I do if I witness a crime? Contact the police as early as possible. Write down any information you can remember to give a complete account to the police or in case you are called to testify at court. If you have any concerns, you should consult a lawyer. What if I committed a crime but didn’t know that it was illegal at the time? As stated by s. 19 of the Criminal Code, “ignorance of the law by a person who commits an offence is not an excuse for committing that offence.” What if I just helped someone commit a crime? (i.e.
