View this case - free

United States v. Larrabee, No. 05-1143, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT, February 3, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Sentencing defendant to 363 months for second degree murder, an upward variance of 54 percent from the top of advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines range, was reasonable in view of the heinous nature of the crime, defendant's criminal history, and need to protect public; further, court properly considered and applied 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) factors.

United States v. McMannus, No. 04-3560, No. 04-3561, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT, February 3, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In light of 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a), the court did not believe that defendant's lack of criminal history or anything else in the record justified a variance of the magnitude at issue. The sentence selected by the district court, a 54 percent variance, was outside the range of reasonableness. Therefore, her sentence was vacated as unreasonable.

View this case - free

Fourth Olano factor was also satisfied.
