Preponderance of the Evidence Standard Still Applies to Judicial Fact-Finding at Sentencing

U.S. v. Jones, 2009 WL 921116 (4/7/09) (unpub'd) - Booker did not require overturning prior precedent that only a preponderance of the evidence standard applies to judicial fact-finding that enhances the guideline range. In this case, the fact-finding increased the range from 21-27 months to 151 to 188 months. That's just fine.
