183528P.pdf   04/17/2020  United States  v.  Gerard Boyd
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3528
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Shepherd and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. The facts underlying defendant's prior arrests 
   are part of his history and characteristics under Sec. 3553(b); police 
   reports described in the PSR were fair game for the court to consider for 
   a variance because defendant did not object to them; there is nothing to 
   suggest a corrected misstatement improperly influenced the court's 
   sentencing decision; upward variance was not unreasonable in light of the 
   seriousness of defendant's previous assaults and the facts of this arrest.
