What is the appropriate sentence for a defendant who pleaded guilty to a charge of recklessly causing grievous bodily harm against a witness?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Casteneda, 878 F.2d 387 (9th Cir. 1989):
Although the district court could have imposed a shorter sentence, the district court's sentencing decision and its denial of a Rule 35 motion are within its discretion. United States v. Meyers, 847 F.2d 1408, 1416 (9th Cir.1988); United States v. Gonzales, 765 F.2d 1393, 1396 (9th Cir.1985), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1068 (1986). Absent constitutional concerns, we generally do not review a sentence which is within the statutory limits. Meyers, 847 F.2d at 1416.
