GL Sentence Affirmed

U.S. v. Holtz, 2007 WL 1765526 (6/20/07)(unpub'd) - The 10th upholds sentence within the guideline range, finding that it was reasonable for the district court to conclude that, in devising the child porn guidelines, the Sentencing Commission took into account the kind of sexual abuse the defendant suffered as a child. What???!!! To the district court, the defendant's sexual abuse as a child was "routine."
