Answer to Question 2

 Definite sentence/no discretion  The legislature provides for a specific sentence for each level of offense. For example, all crimes that constitute a class 2 felony require the judge to impose a specific sentenceno deviations permitted.
 Definite sentence/wide discretion  The legislature provides for a range of sentences for each level of offense. The sentence imposed is definitefor a specific number of yearsbut the judge's discretion is wide.
 Presumptive sentence/narrow discretion  The legislature limits discretion to a narrow range of sentences for each level of offense; for each level, a presumed sentence exists from which the judge cannot deviate, except if aggravating or mitigating circumstances apply, and then in only a limited manner.
 Presumptive sentence/wide discretion  As in the presumptive sentence with narrow discretion, the legislature provides three possible terms for each class of felony. However, although each class has a presumptive sentence, the judge may decrease (for mitigation) or increase (for aggravation) by significantly fixed amounts; for example, a presumptive sentence of 12 years could be decreased to 6 years or increased to 16 years.
