'Blakely' Signifies Great Change In Sentencing in Criminal Cases

Focus Column - Criminal Law - By Erwin Chemerinsky and Laurie Levenson - From a practical perspective, few Supreme Court decisions will have more impact than Thursday's ruling in Blakely v. Washington, 2004 WL 1402697 (2004). The court's ruling will dramatically change sentencing in criminal cases across the country.
