Prior Criminal History Can Lead to a More Serious Sentence

 

Prior felony convictions can lengthen your sentence in two ways: 

1. Prior record scoring – Your prior records can greatly extend a new sentence, depending on the number and types of offenses.
2. Habitual sentencing enhancement – Prosecutors may use your prior records to apply habitual offender enhancements, extending sentences already lengthened by prior variable scoring by another 100%.
