063545P.pdf   08/15/2007  United States  v.  Carol L. Gillmore
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3545
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Murphy and Beam, Circuit
   Judges]
   Criminal Case - sentence. District court's grant of upward variance on
   second degree murder conviction within Indian country from 188 months
   to 396 months was not unreasonable, in light of district court's thorough
   and well-reasoned explanation for imposing exceptional variance,
   namely, the brutal nature of the offense and the threat defendant posed to
   herself and the public due to her mental illness and chemical dependancy. 
   District court did not abuse its discretion.
