Is there a nationwide disparity in sentencing for a similar crime more leniently than he was?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. King, 20-2910-cr (2nd Cir. 2021):
who were sentenced for a similar crime more leniently than he was (he identified his co-conspirator and the defendant in United States v. Slaughter, 248 F. App'x 313 (3d Cir. 2007)), this is not sufficient to establish the existence of a nationwide disparity, especially considering that these two defendants, unlike King, pleaded guilty to a single offense.
