United States v. Vigneau, 473 F. Supp. 3d 31 (D.R.I. 2020).
Argument(s)
Putting aside the COVID-19 health concerns, the Court writes, "The Senate Report from when Congress passed the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 shows that Congress wanted the courts to be able to reduce 'unusually long sentences,' and to reduce sentences where amended Guidelines suggest a shorter sentence. S. Rep. No. 98-225, at 55-56 (1983)." The Court concludes, "that Mr. Vigneau received an unusually long sentence [365 months] for a crime involving marijuana trafficking and money laundering."
