2 By "suboffense," we mean a course of defined conduct with an offense grade different from that of other conduct defined in the same code section. In other words, a criminal code might have three suboffenses of robbery, or five suboffenses of theft, depending upon the number different grades of the offense that it recognizes. 3 N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C (West 2010). Each suboffense was counted as a separate offense, meaning that any conduct that was graded differently from base offense was counted separately. 4 N.J. Stat. Ann. §2C:43-6 (West 2010) (sentence of imprisonment for crimes, ordinary terms). 5 N.J. Stat. Ann. §2C:43-8 (West 2010) (sentence of imprisonment for disorderly persons offenses). 6 See, e.g., N.J. Stat. Ann. §2C:11-3b (West 2010) (sentence of imprisonment for murder, including imprisonment of 30 years to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole).
