Statutory Penalties Fines in Delaware

In Delaware, statutory penalty fines for criminal offenses are governed by 11 Del. C. § 4205, which sets the authorized fine amounts and the court’s discretion in imposing them. This statute establishes the maximum fine that may be imposed for each class of felony, misdemeanor, or violation, while also providing that the court may consider additional factors when determining the final penalty. The law does not prescribe a single fixed fine; instead, it outlines a framework within which the sentencing court calculates the amount. For the precise statutory rates and any applicable exceptions, the official source at the link above contains the full text. The worked example below demonstrates how the court applies this rule.
