United States v. Irizarry-Sisco, No. 19-1763 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's conviction and sentence for one count of transportation of a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, holding that Defendant was not entitled to relief on his allegations of error.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial court erred in admitting hearsay testimony and improper opinion testimony and that his sentence was both procedurally and substantively unreasonable. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that the district court (1) did not abuse its discretion in admitting the hearsay statements under the excited utterance exception; (2) did not abuse its discretion in admitting the opinion testimony; and (3) did not err in sentencing Defendant to 235 months' imprisonment because the sentence was procedurally and substantively reasonable.
