U.S. v. Poulin

Dist. Ct. erred in sentencing defendant to 115-month term of incarceration, as well as imposing lifetime term of supervised release with various conditions on charges of receipt and possession of child pornography. Defendant was entitled to new sentencing hearing, where Dist. Ct. had failed to provide any reason for rejection of his main argument that child pornography guidelines did not approximate goals of sentencing when applied to first-time offenders. Moreover, Dist. Ct. similarly did not provide any reason for why life term of supervised release or any special conditions attached thereto were appropriate.
