April 24, 2014 - Sentence Reduced by Five Years on Remand From Eleventh Circuit

April 24, 2014, United States District Court on remand from Mr. Kent's successful breach of plea agreement appeal to the Eleventh Circuit, which argued that government breached its obligation to support acceptance of responsibility at sentencing, a newly assigned District Court Judge reduced client Bryan Copeland's sentence from 22 to 17 years.  The resentencing was handled by attorney Donald Mairs under the CJA.  This five year sentence reduction was a result of Mr. Kent's sucessful appeal for Mr. Copeland, who had been charged in a five million dollar tax fraud scheme.
