Federal sentencing guidelines shift to advisory status
The federal sentencing guidelines took effect November 1, 1987 as advisory after a three year effort to standardize penalties. The 1,800 page manual previously allowed judges to enhance sentences for unproven jury factors like drug or fraud amounts. After the Supreme Court ruling on January 12, guidelines are no longer mandatory and deviations remain possible in unusual cases.
