Evidentiary and Sentencing Hearing

08/01/2007 - 14:00
US/Central

A hearing has been set to resolve disputes between the prosecutors and Christopher Smith on enhancements to his sentencing guidelines.

The sentence range in this case goes from a mandatory minimum of 20 years to a maximum of life. (This is in addition to whatever he gets in his other trial -- which we're not tracking because almost all of the documents are under seal -- for witness tampering.) The government is asking for a term of 30 years to life, while the defense is asking for the minimum.

After spending 6 hours and 26 minutes in session on July 31, the Sentencing hearing was adjourned until August 1 at 2:00 p.m. (CDT).

Is this site one of those "Secret Branches" of the U.S. Government??
