Uniformity of Sentencing Supports GL Sentence

U.S. v. Chaheine, 2007 WL 2561822 (9/5/07)(unpub'd) - While rejecting the claim that the district court mistakenly applied a presumption of reasonableness when it referred to Kristl, despite the valorous advocacy of Cate and Ben, the 10th made a telling fine line distinction. According to the 10th, the district court's reliance on the need for uniformity of sentencing by applying the guidelines is not the same thing as imposing a presumption of reasonableness to the guidelines.
