United States v. Sampson Williams, A/K/A MacKey Sampson

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that courts may consider “facts drawn from police reports” related to arrests when the defendant does not contest their reliability
• holding that a district court did not err at sentencing when it relied on unobjected-to statements in a PSR regarding the facts surrounding the defendant’s previous ar- rests
• stating that the PSR was \far more in depth than mere arrest records\ because it provided a summary of the facts surrounding the arrests
• “The PSI in this case does not contain a mere record of arrests, but provides additional facts drawn from police reports relative to the conduct that prompted the arrests. Nothing before us indicates that the district court relied on an ar- rest record alone.”
