Michigan Supreme Court

People of Michigan v. Marty Thomas Pennell

June 23, 2021

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court vacated the Grand Traverse Circuit Court's sentence and remanded for resentencing, holding that Offense Variable 9 must be scored only on conduct during the sentencing offense and that the defendant satisfied the good‑cause and actual‑prejudice requirements of MCR 6.508(D). The Court also denied leave to appeal because the defendant failed to meet the burden for relief.
