U.S. v. Presley

In prosecution on drug and firearms charges, Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 440-month term of incarceration, even though defendant would be almost 64 years old at time of release, since said sentence was within Guideline range, and defendant otherwise made only perfunctory argument when seeking lower sentence. Ct., though, invited Dist. Ct. to consider resentencing defendant to lower term in light of legitimate cost concerns associated with incarcerating “aging prisoners,” as well as concerns regarding incarceration of individuals to periods beyond any deterrent or incapacitative effect on their propensity to commit future crimes.
