State v. Anderson
243 Or. App. 222
Or. Ct. App.2011Background
- Defendant Anderson was convicted of rape in 2006 and sentenced to probation under grid block 6D based on his plea, which included stipulations about his criminal history.
- His assault conviction, which contributed to the original grid block, was later reversed by the Oregon Court in 2008.
- While on probation, Anderson violated probation by not completing a sex offender program, leading to a probation revocation in 2009.
- At revocation, the court imposed 13 months of incarceration based on grid block 6D, arguing it could not recalculate under the rules for revocation.
- Anderson argued the court should recalculate his criminal history score at revocation to reflect the overturned assault conviction and use a 6G grid block.
- The Court of Appeals held that sanctions upon revocation are governed by the grid block at the time of initial sentencing and affirmed the revocation sentence>
