What happens now after Blakely?

June 26, 2004

I am extremely curious — and would be eager to hear from prosecutors, defense atorneys or judges — how sentencings are being handled after Blakely in federal courts or in states with guideline structures. Is everything on hold until further rulings? Are sentencings going forward with efforts to comply with Blakely?

Relatedly, I am extremely curious — and would be eager to hear from commissioners and staffers — about the discussions and debates taking place in sentencing commissions about how to responded to Blakely.

Here and here and here are links to a few new stories which suggest that a lot of head scratching is going on.
