U.S. v. Levi 8:04-cr-00235-DKC (D. Md. July 6, 2021)
Memorandum Opinion Granting Compassionate Release
Argument: Many may have followed the recent story of Gwen Levi, a 76 year old grandmother released on CARES Act home confinement and ordered back to prison when she missed a call from her supervising officials while attending a computer skills class. See "A grandmother didn’t answer her phone during a class. She was sent back to prison." (WaPo, Jun. 26, 2021).
Gwen's story has a happy ending, because Judge Deborah Chasanow granted her pending compassionate release motion, finding that due to Ms. Levi's "potential return to full custody," a reduction in sentence was appropriate. "Woman who was arrested after missing officials' phone call while in computer class is headed home." (USA Today, Jul. 6, 2021).
