Unconvicted Conduct

• The legal system considers some conduct that an accused person is alleged to have engaged in to be relevant in determining the accused's sentence should they be convicted. Not all relevant conduct is something for which the accused is convicted or even charged with a crime. Unconvicted conduct refers to conduct the legal system considers relevant in the sentencing process, but for which the accused was not criminally convicted.
