US v. Berry
6 January 2009, 8:00 pm

(U.S. 3d Cir., Criminal Law & Procedure, Sentencing) Sentences for armed robbery are reversed and remanded where the district court relied on unsupported speculation regarding Defendants' bare arrest records. A bare arrest record alone does not justify an assumption that a defendant has committed other crimes and it therefore cannot support increasing a sentence in the absence of adequate proof of criminal activity.
