172331P.pdf 07/12/2018 United States v. Jesse James DeMarrias
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-2331
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Aberdeen
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, with Kelly and Grasz, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. In revoking defendant's supervised release and
imposing a sentence which included a lifetime of supervised release, the
court provided a reasoned basis for increasing the supervision period over
the one contained in defendant's initial sentence; the period is
reasonable given defendant's pattern of sexual deviance and a
psychological assessment which concluded he presented a significant risk
of recidivism and suffered from disorders resistant to change; the
district court did not clearly err in weighing the 3553(a) factors, and
the sentence, while severe, was not substantively unreasonable. Judge
Kelly, dissenting.
