United States v. Bruzon-Velazquez, No. 21-1540 (1st Cir. 2022)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court denying Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea and sentencing him to consecutive sentences of life imprisonment for discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence resulting in death and attempted carjacking, holding that there was no error or abuse of discretion.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea and that his sentence was neither procedurally nor substantively reasonable. The First Circuit disagreed and affirmed, holding (1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea; and (2) there was no significant procedural or substantive error.
