More USSC data coming soon?
I see from the US Sentencing Commission’s website here that a public meeting is scheduled for tomorrow morning and a post-Booker update is on the agenda. Assuming the USSC has updated the memo in this post, I am hopeful we may see soon a report of sentencing data through two full months post-Booker.
In addition, I am hopeful the USSC will soon have a large enough case sample to break-down the cumulative post-Booker statistics so that we can have a more detailed understanding of what sorts of cases in what jurisdictions are within the guidelines, are subject to departures, and are subject to variances. Also, while I am making my (unreasonable?) data wish list, I would also like to see some post-Booker circuit data.
