Blakely v. Washington (2004) is the case where the Supreme Court ruled that the Sixth Amendment requires that any fact (other than a prior conviction) that increases the penalty for a crime beyond the prescribed statutory maximum must be submitted to a jury and proved beyond a reasonable doubt. This decision struck down a state statute that allowed judges to impose sentences beyond the standard range based on their determination of certain facts.
