Appeals courts criticize child porn sentencing guidelinesShannon P. Duffy writing at Law.com: “As the sentencing guidelines for child pornography crimes have grown increasingly harsh, a strong trend has developed among federal judges to reject the proposed prison terms as draconian. Now two influential federal appellate courts — the 2nd and 3rd Circuits — have joined the trend and declared that the child pornography guidelines are seriously flawed, or at least that a trial judge wouldn’t be wrong for thinking so.” | United States v. Grober, No 09-1318 (3rd Cir. Oct. 26, 2010) [dissent begins at pg. 32] |
