The U. S. Sentencing Commission reduced the crack cocaine guideline by two levels and ruled it retroactive. Now 5 grams of cocaine base are assigned a base offense level of 24 (51-63 months at Criminal History Category I – which takes into account the 5 yr. MM statutory sentence.) A U.S.S.G. base offense level score of 30 is assigned to an offense with 50 grams of cocaine base. The Sentencing Commission’s prison impact model predicts that this change in the advisory guideline will affect 69.7% of the crack cocaine offenses sentenced under Section 2D1.1 and will result in an average decrease of 15months. All those sentenced under the minimum mandatory statue will not be affected by this change. The best way to determine this on an individual basis is to go back and read the Judgement and Commitment Order. http://www.ussc.gov/PRESS/rel121107.htm
