Eighth Circuit: United States v. Jay Gifford

 

420 Month below-guidelines sentence not unreasonable.  Seriousness of the offense outweighed the mitigating factors.

Absent a showing of reasonable probability that the sentence would have been different otherwise, no plain error in imposition of lifetime supervised release despite three year limit in statute, given imposition of lifetime supervised release under separate count.
