Double-Counting Argument Rejected

U.S. v. Riccardi, 2008 WL 4183921 (9/12/08) (unpub'd) - It was not impermissible double-counting to impose an enhancement under USSG § 2G2.1(d)(1) for exploiting more than one minor and imposing another enhancement under § 4B1.5(b)(1) for exploiting those same minors on more than one occasion. These two guidelines protect two entirely different interests.
