United States v. Boatman, No. 14-2081 (7th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseBoatman pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery, 18 U.S.C. 2113(a). After two hearings, the district court gave him a below-Guidelines term of 76 months’ imprisonment and three years’ supervised release, rejecting his request for a sentence of time served with community-based drug treatment. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, rejecting an argument that the sentence was procedurally flawed, because the district court failed to give meaningful consideration to his requested disposition. Boatman’s theory would demand more of the district court than the law requires.
