United States v. Torres-Vazquez, No. 12-1903 (1st Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit promotional money laundering pursuant to a plea agreement. Defendant stipulated to the amount of money laundered and received a prison sentence within the range of the federal sentencing guidelines. Defendant appealed, seeking to vitiate his guilty plea on grounds that the record failed to establish a sufficient factual basis for his plea and asserting a claim of sentencing error. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not err in accepting Defendant's guilty plea, as sufficient facts supported the plea; and (2) there was no sentencing error where Defendant's stipulation removed any necessity for independent proof of the stipulated facts.
