In 1978, the Arizona State Legislature passed mandatory sentencing Laws, essentially requiring mandatory prison sentences for all felons convicted of a subsequent felony, first time felons guilty of certain dangerous crimes and certain sex crimes against children. While courts now follow presumptive sentencing guidelines, a prison sentence can be reduced or mitigated by demonstrating facts or circumstances that warrant a reduction in the sentence. Conversely, the prosecutor can ask for an aggravated sentence if certain aggravating circumstances are shown. You need an experienced criminal defense attorney to protect your legal and constitutional interests.
