Episode notes
Acquitted Conduct Changes Sentencing
- Federal judges can consider 'acquitted conduct' at sentencing even when juries acquit on related charges.
- That consideration can dramatically raise guideline ranges and fuel appeals.
How Judges Politically Use Sentencing Factors
- Judges can frame consideration of acquitted conduct under 3553(a) factors rather than as direct guideline enhancements.
- That wording lets judges include harmful acts without calling them formal convictions.
Push For Favorable Designation Findings
- Defense teams should seek judge findings that favor lighter Bureau of Prisons designations.
- Those findings influence placement, which can drastically change someone's daily custody conditions.
