In states where determinate sentencing is used, the sentence imposed is based on guidelines set by the state legislature. These guidelines specify a range of potential sentences based on the severity of the crime and the offender's criminal history. The judge then determines the specific sentence within that range based on the circumstances of the case. The jury's decision and the governor's decision do not typically play a role in determining the specific sentence in states that use determinate sentencing.
