United States v. Santiago-Rivera, No. 13-1228 (1st Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to carjacking resulting in serious bodily injury, use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, and possession of a stolen firearm. Defendant was sentenced to a term of immurement above the top of the applicable guideline sentencing range. On appeal, Defendant contended that his sentence was procedurally flawed and substantively unreasonable because the sentencing court focused too little on the potentially mitigating factors of his upbringing and mental capacity and too much on the high incidence of crime in the community. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Defendant’s sentence, holding that the sentence the district court chose was not unreasonable.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on March 26, 2014.
