7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Jacqueline Kennedy-Robey

Case No.: 19-2421

Officials: FLAUM, MANION, and BARRETT, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing Guidelines

Jacqueline Kennedy-Robey pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341. The district court imposed an above-guidelines sentence. On appeal, Kennedy-Robey argues that the district court failed to consider either her mental health condition or the more lenient sentences received by defendants convicted of similar crimes. She also argues that the sentence was substantively unreasonable. We disagree and affirm the district court’s judgment.
