United States v. Martinez Mathews

The Eleventh Circuit vacated defendant's 60-month sentence, holding that the district court erroneously concluded that it lacked any legal authority to grant an acceptance-of-responsibility reduction under USSG 3E1.1. The court affirmed the district court's increases to defendant's offense level for alteration and falsification of an "especially probative record" under USSG 2J1.2(b)(3)(B), and knowing that the victim of the offense was vulnerable under USSG 3A1.1(b)(1). The court remanded for the district court to decide only the acceptance of responsibility issue and for resentencing. View "United States v. Martinez Mathews" on Justia Law
