Measure 11 Felony Offense
If you have been charged with a violent felony crime under Measure 11, you are facing mandatory sentencing guidelines that do not allow a court to deviate from a statutory minimum jail sentence. In example, if you kill someone while driving drunk, you are going to be serving a minimum of 70 months in prison because of the requirement of the sentencing guidelines for Measure 11 felonies.
