Long Sentence for AIDS Patient Affirmed

U.S. v. Luna, 2007 WL 1776345 (6/21/07)(unpub'd) - The defendant's sentence was not unreasonable, even though he suffered from AIDS and was therefore unlikely to live long enough to serve out his term. The 10th suggests that, given the defendant's limited financial resources, he may be more likely to receive the medical treatment he needs while in prison. A very sad commentary on our health system.
