Quick Take

A sentencing judge retains discretion to reflect a discount for a guilty plea in the head sentence, in a parole recommendation, or in a combination of both. An offender's history of breaching parole does not entitle the offender to insist that the discount be applied to the head sentence rather than to the parole recommendation.
