January 27, 2014 - Federal District Judge Imposes Below Guideline Sentence for Career Offender Client

January 27, 2014, a federal district judge imposed a below guideline sentence on Mr. Kent's career offender client, A.M., of 65 months, to run concurrent to an unrelated state sentence A.M. is currently serving, which will have the net effect of causing A.M. to serve 34 months in federal custody for the new federal offense.    A.M. was a career offender whose guideline range as a career offender was 151 to 188 months.  A.M. had been caught in an ATF sting operation in which A.M. brokered the sale of a stolen firearm after completing a sale of less than one gram of crack cocaine to a confidential informant.  Mr. Kent represented A.M. from plea through sentencing.
