Sentencing Snapshot — OL 24 / CHC III
This sample brief covers Offense Level 24, Criminal History Category III — a mid-range cell that appears frequently in drug-distribution and firearm matters. The brief demonstrates how the full USSC distribution (691 cases) compares to the JSIN-reported cell (349 cases), with the 342-case delta broken down by the available exclusion types: non-imprisonment sentences, cooperation departures, and cases older than five years. (Mandatory-minimum cases are a separate JSIN exclusion category; under the current data tier we haven't yet isolated them by that exclusion category, so they are not in this excluded count. That breakdown lands in a near-term update.) Each row is sourced to the USSC public datafile.
