7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Skylar D. Henshaw
Case No.: 17-1628
Officials: KANNE and ROVNER, Circuit Judges, and DURKIN, District Judge
Focus: Sentencing Guidelines
The district court sentenced Skylar D. Henshaw, a career offender, to five years’ probation–a sentence 151 months lower than the bottom end of his guidelines range and 57 months lower than the sentence recommended by Henshaw’s counsel. Because we find this departure substantively unreasonable, we vacate Henshaw’s sentence and remand for resentencing.
