Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Dist. Ct. erred in sentencing defendant to 120-month term of incarceration on child pornography possession charge where record showed that Dist. Ct. failed to address two substantial arguments defendant proffered in mitigation. On remand, Dist. Ct. must address defendant’s arguments that treatment for his mental-health issues would reduce likelihood of committing similar offense in future, and that defendant’s child-pornography sentencing guidelines did not serve goals of sentencing in light of fact that defendant had no prior history of contact offenses with children.
