MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Read, 18-172 (2nd Cir. 2019):
Further, although the seriousness of the offense is not an independent statutory factor for consideration (see 18 U.S.C. 3583(e)), the sentencing court may nevertheless consider the seriousness of the offense as it relates to the statutory factors, including the need "to afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct" (id. 3553(a)(2)(B)), and "to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant" (id. 3553(a)(2)(C)). See also United States v. Burden, 860 F.3d
