Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 41-month term of incarceration on mail fraud charge stemming from scheme to divert medical-based grant funds to personal use for defendant and her family members. While defendant argued that Dist. Ct. did not adequately consider her mental illness related to her diagnosis of bipolar/depression disorders, record showed that Dist. Ct. adequately considered said factor by specifically mentioning defendant’s mental illness six times in nine pages of transcript that covered defendant’s sentence.
