7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Larry Frazier v. John E. Varga
Case No.: 15-2661
Officials: KANNE, SYKES, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Sentencing
Just days after his release from prison in 1995, petitioner Larry Frazier entered the apartment of a sixty-two-year-old woman and attempted to rob her at gunpoint. For his troubles, he received a bullet wound. Frazier was convicted of home invasion and sentenced to sixty years. The sentence was increased because of the victim’s age. After failing to obtain relief from the conviction and sentence in the state courts, Frazier sought federal habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. He now appeals the district court’s denial of his petition. We affirm.
