Christopher Williams 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.
