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 COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT, February 3, 2006, Filed

|
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.

Overview: Former employees sued their former employer alleging failure to notify them of a plant closing as required by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C.S. § 2101 et seq., but the Act's sale-of-business exclusion, 29 U.S.C.S. § 2101(b)(1), protected the employer from liability under the circumstances.
