Ninth Circuit: USA V. JESUS PIMENTEL-LOPEZ


Sentencing, Kozinski


Where special verdict form indicates an upward bound to the amount of drugs possessed, a court is precluded from a factual finding to the contrary in sentencing, despite the fact that the sentencing finding does not implicate a second statutory maximum.

Hearsay evidence insufficient to support leadership sentencing enhancement.
