|||||
Overview: District court did not commit clear error in adopting an abuse of trust enhancement under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3B1.3 when sentencing defendant for his 18 U.S.C.S. § 1341 mail fraud crime. Customers' trust was fostered by fact that defendant held a retail vehicle dealer license. License facilitated commission and concealment of crime.

|||||
Overview: District court erred in adopting dangerous weapon enhancement under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2D1.1(b)(1) based on pocket knife that defendant stored in his van. Fact that officers did not confiscate knife after seizing drugs from van indicated that they did not believe that knife was connected to defendant's 21 U.S.C.S. § 843(b) offense.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT, April 30, 2007, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: District court properly denied defendant's motion for a new trial based on ineffective assistance of trial counsel because deficient representation violating defendant's Sixth Amendment rights could not be presumed from the counsel's failure to file a suppression motion. The decision could have been tactical and based on plausible reasoning.

| United States v. Trice, Nos. 05-3347, 05-3349, 05-4169,
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT, April 30, 2007, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: The within-guidelines sentences imposed after defendants pleaded guilty to 21 U.S.C.S. §§ 841(a), 846, drug distribution conspiracy offense were presumptively reasonable. District court adequately considered mitigation arguments and 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) factors. An equal protection challenge to 100:1 crack to cocaine sentencing ratio lacked merit.
