Judges improperly enhanced sentences of more than 100 Jan 6 protesters, court rules

Judges may have improperly applied federal sentencing guidelines to more than 100 people convicted of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, a federal court ruled Friday.

A three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Justice Department’s argument that convicted rioters merited lengthier prison sentences for interfering in the “administration of justice” when they stormed the Capitol to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.

On a whim, I did a little research on old Jeff Davis(president of the confederacy, and a DEMOCRAT!!). He was captured and jailed, charged with treason, did 2 years awaiting trial, then the charges were dropped and he walked, Scott free.
 
I'm concerned about that.

Shouldn't they be put down before the pigfucking orangutan pardons them?

And why, for that matter, hasn't Biden taken care of Trump yet?
This republic is already dead.
They'll be no restoring it.

Let's hope that it's the correct people who replace it,
but that could go wrong too.

Somebody else's problem, though.
At this point, I shouldn't even give a fuck.

Oh, look, a commie scared of a Vegan Shamen with blue paint on his face wearing a buffalo hat.
 
Basically, guilty as charged but just trying to get out of jail faster.

No no that all. Clearly the prosecutors in these cases, like you and your maggot friends, have hard ons for trump supporters. They weren't after justice they were after punishment. The justice system shouldnt be used as a stick wielded by hard up idiots just to dispense suffering on people they dont like but that's what this was. Id explain why that's a problem but what end? You're a leftist moron and it would be a waste of my time.

You are only here to prove your stupidity it seems.

For the foregoing reasons, we affirm Brock’s conviction
under 18 U.S.C § 1512(c)(2),
but we vacate Brock’s sentence
for his Section 1512(c)(2) conviction and remand to the district
court for resentencing
without the application of Section
2J1.2(b)(2)’s sentencing enhancement

Guilty as charged. Will be resentenced without the enhancement. At this point the judge can sentence for even more time since Brock was never sentenced to the maximum.

Brock was convicted of 6 crimes. They only are saying one of the sentences needs to be redone.
 
Nope, they were charged and convicted of crimes that they did not commit.

MILLETT, Circuit Judge: Larry Brock participated in the
violent January 6th riot at the United States Capitol that forced
the evacuation of members of Congress and their staff and
prevented Congress’s certification of the 2020 presidential
election until the next day. After a bench trial, the court
convicted Brock of six crimes, including corruptly obstructing
Congress’s certification of the electoral count under 18 U.S.C.
§ 1512(c)(2).
At sentencing, the district court applied a three-
level sentencing enhancement to Brock’s Section 1512(c)(2)
conviction on the ground that Brock’s conduct resulted in
“substantial interference with the administration of justice[.]”
U.S.S.G. § 2J1.2(b)(2).
Brock challenges both the district court’s interpretation of
Section 1512(c)(2)’s elements and the sufficiency of the
evidence to support that conviction. He also challenges the
district court’s application of the three-level sentencing
enhancement for interfering with the “administration of
justice.” Because the law and the record in this case foreclose
Brock’s legal and sufficiency challenges, we affirm Brock’s
Section 1512(c)(2) conviction
For the foregoing reasons, we affirm Brock’s conviction
under 18 U.S.C § 1512(c)(2)
, but we vacate Brock’s sentence
for his Section 1512(c)(2) conviction and remand to the district
court for resentencing without the application of Section
2J1.2(b)(2)’s sentencing enhancement

Brock stands convicted of 6 crimes. The appeals court is only asking that that the lower court revisit the sentence for one of those convictions and did not overturn the conviction.


Just in case you try to argue they overturned the other 5 convictions.
The only count of conviction relevant to this appeal is
Count One, obstruction of an official proceeding under 18
U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2).

You still have a hard on for trump don't you? I think you're addicted to trump porn.

You lie and are found out so you accuse me of sexual attraction to Trump?

Maybe you should try acting like an adult some time and take responsibility for your lies.
Did the Appeals court overturn any conviction? Yes/No
Did the Appeals court affirm the convictions? Yes/No
 
I copied and pasted the title of the posted article, cry harder.

Only problem is, the article title is WRONG, but why let that slow you down, right?

Just admit you read the title, peed yourself a little bit thinking you'd found something to bash the Biden administration with, and then posted the article without reading anything other than the headline.

It's a standard issue GOP deflection tactic.

Hilarious how big mouth Yakko suddenly disappeared when you asked him simple yes/no questions?
 
If the ruling stands these folks will get new sentences. I think it is likely to stand but some appeals courts are political in rulings... This may be another one that winds up finally at the SCOTUS.

Nobody is going to be reprimanded for applying the attachment, the judges seemed to believe it was appropriate though I don't see how Congressional Proceedings are administering justice and believe the ruling that would remove that attachment should stand. Anyway, if that part of the sentencing is overturned these folks will be able to appeal for shorter sentences. However by the time this mess is over those folks will probably have served the longer sentences anyway.

They included it in the first line of the article so I'm not sure why it's such a big deal to you. Feel free to ask a mod to change the title to your liking if it helps you. I don't care about it.

Yeah, the bigot, Democrats then were conservatives. You’re a conservative, aren’t you?
