United States v. Graciani-Febus, No. 13-1793 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseAppellant was convicted of crimes stemming from his involvement in a racketeering drug enterprise that resulted in the murder of two innocent bystanders. The district court imposed a sentence of 360 months imprisonment, to run concurrently with Appellant’s state sentence. The First Circuit affirmed the sentence, holding that the district court (1) did not impose a sentence that was unjustifiably long in comparison to those imposed on his co-defendants where the court considered Appellant’s specific role in the context of the whole case, imposed the sentence accordingly, and provided an adequate explanation for its sentence; and (2) did not err when it declined to adjust Appellant’s sentence to reflect the six months he had served for his state drug conviction.
