sentencing case
In ''Blakely v. Washington'', 542 U.S. 296 (2004), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] held that facts, other than a prior conviction, supporting a sentence above the standard sentencing range in a legislatively prescribed sentencing guidelines system must be found be a jury and proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

This case concerned a state criminal proceeding. The [[U.S. Supreme Court]] extended this ''Blakely'' rule to the federal Sentencing Guidelines in ''[[United States v. Booker]]'', 543 U.S. 220 (2005).
