Re: Heggs Case
Heggs determined that the 1995 guidelines were unconstitutional. If an inmate was sentenced under those guidelines (sentenced prior to October 1998) then he/she may be afforded some relief. However, not everyone sentenced under the 1995 guidelines will receive a better sentence from the Heggs decision.
