Eighth Circuit -- United States v. Jemaine Sidney

United States v. Jemaine Sidney

 The FSA does not apply to those sentenced after effective date of the Act where the crime was before the effective date of the Act.

No violation of ex post facto, cruel & unusual or equal protection , given circuit precedent.

As FSA is not retroactive, it is not a basis for the withdrawal of a plea.

Compiled by D.E. Frydrychowski, who is, not incidentally, not giving you legal advice.
