Nelson v. US
26 January 2009, 10:00 pm

(U.S.S.C., Criminal Law & Procedure, Per Curiam, Sentencing) The Court re-emphasizes that its cases do not allow a sentencing court (as opposed to an appellate court) to presume that a sentence within the applicable Sentencing Guidelines range is reasonable. Here, the sentencing court clearly applied a presumption of reasonableness to petitioner's Guidelines range, and the circuit court erred in affirming the sentence.
