You are a judge considering the sentences of several convicted offenders. The first offender has been found guilty of burglary and larceny for the third time. The report tells you that the offender's previous sentences were probation for the first offense and 14 days in jail for the second.

Accordingly, you sentence him to the maximum allowed under the guidelines.
