What is a reasonable sentence for a man who pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with intent to pervert the course of justice?
The following excerpt is from United States v. Caballero, D.C. No. 2:07-cr-00088-FCD-1, D.C. No. 2:07-cr-00088-FCD-2, D.C. No. 2:07-cr-00088-FCD-5, D.C. No. 2:07-cr-00088-FCD-6, No. 08-10428, No. 08-10449, No. 08-10555, No. 09-10417 (9th Cir. 2012):
The 292-month sentence was substantively reasonable. The district court imposed a sentence at the low end of the recommended Guidelines range, and carefully articulated legitimate reasons for its choice. See United States v. Ressam, 679 F.3d 1069, 1089 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc) (explaining that a sentence is reasonable if the record, viewed in its totality, "reflects rational and meaningful consideration of the factors enumerated in 18 U.S.C. 3553(a)") (citation omitted).
