U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-2235
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Kobes, Circuit
Judge]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The government reversed its sentencing
recommendation for a valid reason and its action did not constitute
prosecutorial vindictiveness; defendant failed to show the sentence the
court imposed was vindictive; the district court did not err by deciding,
without a jury, that defendant's four prior serious drug offenses were
committed on occasions different from one another and that determination
did not violate defendant's Sixth Amendment rights.
