How can you use presumptive in a sentence?
From the stand point of the criminal justice system it's not
only used, but requested, ordered, and received. A presumptive
sentence is used when a person is convicted of a crime that has a
specific sentence. Presumptive sentencing is similar to a mandatory
sentence, however a mandatory sentence is a minimum were a
presumptive sentence has no maximum or minimum. It only carries a
specific fine, program enrollment, or amount of incarceration
time.
From a grammar stand point you could use the statement "the
defendant received a presumptive sentence." I hope this answers the
question well enough.
