What is the Utah Sentencing Commission? The Utah Sentencing Commission is a legislatively created body charged with establishing sentencing guidelines and developing policy recommendations regarding the sentencing and release of adult and juvenile offenders. The Sentencing Commission is comprised of 27 members representing all facets of the justice system, including judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, legislators, victims, law enforcement, treatment specialists, ethnic minorities, corrections officials, parole authorities, and others. What are sentencing guidelines? Utah uses sentencing guidelines in both the adult and juvenile systems. The primary goal of both sets of sentencing guidelines is communicating a standard to all involved in the sentencing of criminal or juvenile offenders. The Adult Sentencing and Release Guidelines, implemented in 1998 seek to promote uniformity and equity by communicating a recommended sentence and length of stay for particular crimes committed by similarly situated offenders. The recommended sentence and length of stay are descriptive of current sentencing practices. The guidelines are not mandatory; judges and the Board of Pardons and Parole may depart from them, but are encouraged to consider the guidelines as a starting point and follow them unless aggravating or mitigating circumstances justify a departure.

PRESS RELEASE Office of the Governor FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, November 26, 2004 Governor Ehrlich Grants Clemency to Seven ANNAPOLIS – Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. today granted executive clemency to seven individuals. Among those Governor Ehrlich granted clemency to is Mary Washington Brown, 46, of Baltimore. Brown was convicted of First-Degree Murder in 1974, in the stabbing death of Charlotte Ida Lessem. Brown and a co-defendant robbed the North Carolina resident in a Greyhound Bus Station. Apparently, Ms. Lessem resisted the theft and was stabbed as the confrontation escalated. Brown was 15 years old when she committed the offense, which followed a turbulent youth, including abuse by her stepfather, who killed Brown’s mother in her presence. The Governor’s decision to conditionally commute Brown’s life sentence to a fixed term of 60 years will not release Brown from the immediate custody of the Division of Correction. Prior to parole eligibility, Brown must complete 12 months of work release while observing good behavior. The victim's family, the Maryland Parole Commission and the State's Attorney's Office for Baltimore City were consulted on the commutation. This is the second occasion in which the Maryland Parole Commission has recommended Mary Washington Brown for executive clemency.

CURRENT ISSUE TABLE OF CONTENTS news arts ... NEWS : UNPARDONABLE Unpardonable The Bush record of 'compassion' began long before his sojourn in D.C. BY LUCIUS LOMAX Sharon Stewart spent five years in TDCJ on a 90-day sentence. photo by Jana Birchum It's conventional among some Texans to say that George W. Bush became more extreme as president than he had been as governor. He didn't try to invade Mexico on his Texas watch, after all. He didn't brazenly curtail civil liberties in the state, nor try to ban abortion, did he? According to bar talk and casual philosophizing, W.'s more extreme tendencies were held in check at the Texas Capitol by the last men standing in the Democratic leadership. With their remaining strength, Texas Dems kept W., people say, from being W. Because there was an area of state policy where the then governor plainly made his unyielding intentions known to the world, even from backwater Austin: crime and punishment, especially punishment. A statistic W. left behind from his tenure in Texas is astounding for what it says about his sense of compassion, and also about his apparently limitless moral certainty. Of 154 capital cases presented to Gov. Bush for possible commutation of sentence, W. sent 151 men and two women to their deaths. In the 154th case, that of serial murderer Henry Lee Lucas, the governor relented only because two attorneys general confirmed that he was on a job in Jacksonville, Fla., when he was supposed to be in Williamson Co. committing the crime for which he was sentenced to die.
