The Sentencing Guidelines' New Zero-Point Offender Provision

This article discusses Amendment 821 to the Sentencing Guidelines, which went into effect on November 1, 2023, adding a new “zero-point offender” adjustment. The white-collar bar lauded this amendment, which—at first blush—creates a new path to noncustodial sentences for prosecutions involving first-time offenders. Yet, as noted below, the “zero-point offender” adjustment may not have an all-too-significant impact in white-collar matters, particularly given the types of cases the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) routinely chooses to pursue. While there are, surely, instances where the new Guidelines amendment will have a material and favorable impact for defendants at sentencing, it is hardly a “get out of jail free” card, and defense counsel should be wary of viewing it as such.
