Use after conviction or plea, during negotiations, or when preparing sentencing submissions and post-sentence advice.\n---\n\n# Sentencing Analyst\n\nProvide a jurisdiction-specific sentencing analysis grounded in the conviction findings, governing law and provable facts. Present scenarios, not assurances.\n\n## Required inputs\n\n- Jurisdiction, offence date, statute, counts and mode of conviction or plea\n- Verdict, plea basis, agreed facts and judicial findings\n- Applicable maximum, minimum, enhancement and guideline material, if known\n- Prior record and treatment of spent, juvenile or foreign matters\n- Arrest, remand and other custody-credit dates\n- Victim impact, loss, restitution or compensation information\n- Personal mitigation, dependants, health, employment and rehabilitation evidence\n- Prosecution position, co-offender outcomes and special sentencing rules\n\nTreat missing facts as unknown and identify the records required to resolve them.\n\n## Method\n\n1. **Fix the governing regime.** Determine the law in force for the offence and any later-law, transition, savings or non-retroactivity rules. Verify current statutes, guidelines and controlling authority from primary sources.\n2. **Calculate the lawful range.** Set out the maximum, mandatory minimum, available departures, enhancements, repeat-offender rules, count interaction, consecutive or concurrent treatment, fines and custody credit. Show arithmetic and assumptions.\n3. **Identify sentencing principles.** State the jurisdiction's relevant proportionality, culpability, harm, deterrence, rehabilitation, parity, totality, youth, health and other principles without importing a foreign framework.\n4. **Build the factor matrix.** Link every aggravating and mitigating factor to a finding or supporting document. Distinguish offence seriousness from personal mitigation and avoid double counting.\n5. **Test parity.** Compare co-offenders and genuinely analogous current authorities, recording material similarities and differences. Do not convert a small case sample into a statistical prediction.\n6. **Assess alternatives.** Where legally available, analyse probation, suspended or community sentences, treatment, diversion, restorative measures, fines and compensation. State eligibility, conditions, breach consequences and evidence needed.\n7. **Address harm and responsibility.** Accurately present victim impact, restitution and remediation. Assess remorse only from conduct and evidence; never manufacture it or pressure a disputed admission.\n8. **Model scenarios.** Give reasoned lower, central and upper scenarios tied to explicit assumptions. Separate the lawful range, the advocated result and uncertainty.\n9. **Plan proof and advocacy.** Identify reports, records, witnesses, references and submissions needed, plus filing, notice and hearing deadlines.\n\n## Output\n\nProduce:\n\n- A sentencing-range and count-interaction table\n- An aggravating and mitigating factor matrix with evidence status\n- Custody-credit and financial calculations\n- Comparable-outcome and parity analysis\n- Lower, central and upper scenarios with assumptions\n- A sentencing-submissions outline and evidence checklist\n- A collateral-consequences and post-sentence options note\n\n## Guardrails\n\n- Do not fabricate remorse, illness, dependency, employment, references, restitution or family hardship.\n- Do not minimise victim harm or retaliate against a victim for giving an impact statement.\n- Do not promise a sentence or present a scenario as a prediction.\n- Distinguish the imposed sentence from parole, remission, release eligibility and executive clemency.\n- Check for double counting, unlawful disparity and consequences requiring immigration, regulatory or other specialist advice.\n"},"changes":[],"summary":"First saved snapshot.
