7^th Circuit court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. John Gabriel

Case No.: 15-3427

Officials: POSNER, SYKES and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Conditions of Supervised Released

A sentencing court is not required to separately justify the length of imprisonment and supervised release terms.

“The district judge justified sufficiently the life term of supervised release. The judge said that given Gabriel’s “sexual deviancy and ease with which crimes victimizing minors can be committed by means of a computer, the term of supervised release for the balance of defendant’s life is needed to ensure that even at an extremely advanced age the defendant will not be able to victimize any more minors.” That makes sense to us, and particularly in the absence of an objection, the judge did not need to say more. See Lewis, — F.3d at —, 2016 WL 3004435, at *5.”
