   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-2094
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Wollman,
   Circuit Judge]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The sentencing record showed the district court considered the 3553(a) factors, including factors pointed out by defendant, and reached a decision which was not an abuse of its discretion; court sufficiently explained its sentencing decision; any error in grouping two counts for sentencing purposes was harmless as the court made clear that it would impose a life sentence even absent the grouping because of the danger defendant posed to the public.
