United States v. Rivera-Clemente, No. 13-2275 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting murder and aiding and abetting in the carrying and use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence causing death. The district court imposed a high-end guideline sentence of 322 months, which was forty-six months longer than the term of imprisonment recommended by the parties in the plea agreement. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not commit plain error in failing to apprise Defendant of the consequences of his guilty plea at the change-of-plea hearing; and (2) Defendant’s sentence was both procedurally and substantively reasonable.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on February 17, 2016.
