Eighth Circuit: United States v. Santos Chavarria-Ortiz

Sentencing

Lack of contemporaneous objection to explanation of sentence at trial is forfeiture of claim, not waiver.

Within-guidelines sentence sufficiently explained, as the court characterized the sentence as reasonable and evinced some knowledge of the deft's circumstances.

Within-guidelines sentence not substantively unreasonable.
