The sentencing transcript in Kimbrough
In this prior post, I discussed some of the issues (and linked the cert papers) related to the Supreme Court’s cert grant last Monday in Kimbrough v. United States, No. 06-6330, the crack sentencing case. I have since had a chance to review the transcript fromt the district court sentencing in Kimbrough, which I provide for downloading below.
In an effort to putting aside all the intricate legal issues related to Booker and 3553(a) and guideline provisions, I would like to read comments from folks after they review this transcript on the most basic and essential question: was the sentence given by Judge Raymond Jackson to Derrick Kimbrough on April 15, 2005 reasonable?
