United States v. Greig, No. 12-1752 (1st Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was sentenced to eight years' incarceration after she pled guilty to various crimes committed during her sixteen years on the run with wanted fugitive, James "Whitey" Bulger. Defendant challenged her sentence on appeal, claiming that the court erroneously calculated her base offense level on the conspiracy to harbor a fugitive count, incorrectly applied a firearm enhancement, wrongly utilized an obstruction of justice enhancement, and erred in allowing family members of Bulger's alleged victims to speak during sentencing. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that the district court did not err in (1) finding that Defendant's conduct was not limited to harboring Bulger and refusing to cap her offense level accordingly; (2) applying the firearm enhancement and the obstruction of justice enhancement; and (3) deciding to let the family members speak.
