Professor creating app to help with sentencing Jamie Markham. an assistant professor of public law and government in the UNC School of Government, will lead a team creating an innovative mobile app to improve the accuracy and consistency of North Carolina's criminal sentencing process. Markham won the 2012 C. Felix Harvey Award to Advance Institutional Priorities, a campus-based honor that included $75,000 to fund the project. The app will help North Carolina's legal practitioners identify the correct sentence that should be given to an offender under the state's Structured Sentencing law. The law, first passed in 1994, established statutory charts - also known as sen tencing grids - that provide judges with options for the type and length of sen tences that may be Mark ham imposed, based on a crime's severity and any prior criminal record on the part of the offend er. But recent revisions to the law have made it more complex, according to Markham, leading to confusion and mistakes, as evidenced by state Division of Adult Correction data show ing an uptick in erroneous sentences. The app will guide users through the sen tencing process, from choosing the proper grid to the ultimate decision of whether the defen dant will go to prison or be placed on proba tion. "Errors and inconsistencies in the adminis tration of justice?even if accidental?can call into question the fairness and integrity of the system." Markham said. "When liberty is at stake, we should strive for perfection." Content for the app will stem from Markham's expertise in the field. He teaches sentencing law to new North Carolina judges and prosecutors as part of the School of Government's annual training programs for new officials.
