U.S. v. Cureton

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant on limited remand to same 444-month sentence on series of firearm related crimes, even though Dist. Ct. had imposed original sentence under belief that it could not consider mandatory minimum sentence for defendant’s conviction under section 924(c) when deciding sentences for other crimes. Dist. Ct. could properly find that there was no basis for reduction in defendant’s sentence, even if it had been aware of ability to consider mandatory minimum sentence defendant would receive on section 924(c) firearm charge, given viciousness of defendant’s crimes, including kidnapping and torture of woman who was victim.
