United States v. Walker

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that a time-served sentence for a bank robbery committed by a career offender created an unwarranted sentencing disparity, bolstered by the defendant’s failure to identify a single case with a similar sentence
• concluding that a sentence was too low in part because the district court had focused 3 Appellate Case: 23-6145 Document: 010111061980 Date Filed: 06/07/2024 Page: 4 on the defendant’s “newfound sobriety” and failed to even mention incapacitation
• noting that district court can abuse its discretion and impose substantively unreasonable sentence by ignoring relevant factors
• \[T]he length of the sentence should reflect the harm done and the gravity of the defendant's conduct.\ (quotations omitted)
• same for a 33-day sentence for bank robbery
