How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • noting that the proof at the sentencing hearing established that Defendant Londono had previous convictions . . . and also admitted to prior illegal drug use
  • applying plain error review, consistent with the finding in Gomez I that the defendants failed to preserve their constitutional claim for plenary appellate review
  • establishing that, under the 1989 Sentencing Act, it is improper for a trial court to conduct fact-finding in order to enhance a defendant’s sentence if the fact is not admitted or a previous criminal conviction
  • applying plain error review to sentencing claims not raised before the trial court
  • remanding the case for resentencing because “the record in this case as to the Defendants’ criminal histories is not sufficiently well-developed for us to determine the proper sentences based on this enhancement factor alone”
  • “A sentencing court could not increase a defendant’s sentence above the presumptive sentence except upon the application of statutory enhancement factors.”
