United States v. Bacon

Defendant pled guilty to possession of a firearm and was sentenced to 60 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. The court concluded that defendant's sentence was substantively reasonable where the district court considered the 18 U.S.C. 3553(a) factors. In this case, the district court carefully considered whether defendant had made an effort to improve his respect for the law given his criminal history, whether a sentence of imprisonment within the advisory Guidelines range would promote respect for the law, and whether a sentence of imprisonment within the advisory Guidelines range would adequately protect the public from defendant's future offenses. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment. View "United States v. Bacon" on Justia Law
