In Oregon, Measure 11 offenses are considered serious crimes, and they carry mandatory time behind bars with no possibility of parole or early release. If you are currently facing charges relating to a Measure 11 offense, the Law Office of Travis R. Dickey is fully prepared to guide you through the legal process while striving to keep your future bright.
In 1994, Oregon voters approved Ballot Measure 11, which establishes minimum mandatory sentences for certain crimes. The measure went into effect in 1995, and it was reaffirmed by Oregon voters again in 2000. The most serious crimes carry the steepest penalties. For instance, a murder conviction carries a mandatory prison sentence of 6 years and 3 months. Many sex crimes are considered Measure 11 offenses, carrying lengthy prison sentences of up to 25 years. It’s important to recognize that a judge may decide to exempt the accused from the mandatory sentencing dictated by Measure 11, but only if certain criteria are met.
