Seventh Circuit -- USA v. Charles Robertson

USA v. Charles Robertson

Where resentencing for violation of supervised release departs from the range guidelines and the sentencing judge doesn't even reference the guidelines in sentencing, vacate & remand.

(Till Eulenspiel moment:  Deft served ~10 yrs in prison for growing MJ, arrested in last days of 8 yrs. supervised release while tending MJ plants.  When asked why, he said that he liked the way the plants looked, and he liked to smoke them.)
