11th Circuit does a Booker remand

Though not quite as big as the news from the Seventh Circuit on plain error (basics here), I see from Appellate Law and Practice here that the Eleventh Circuit today did remand a case on Booker grounds. Interestingly, in US v. Shelton, No. 04-12602 (11th Cir. Feb. 25, 2005) (available here), there was not Sixth Amendment violation, but the Eleventh Circuit remands because it still finds “Shelton has established a reasonable probability that the district court would have imposed a lesser sentence but for the mandatory Guidelines regime.”
