How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that defendant was not suffering from any psychological disorders and had no motive other than pecuniary gain
- upholding Commission’s denial of downward departure based on the record, including the hearing transcript and the Postsentence Investigation Report
- employment record not among enumerat ed factors despite Zecevic’s argument that it demonstrated the aberrant nature of his conduct
- “[a]part from his status as a first offender and the support of his mother, Zecevic has little else to recommend him for an aberrant behavior departure.”
- “If actions taking place over such a short period can be deemed to include sufficient planning and preparation to remove them from the realm of the ‘spontaneous and thoughtless,’ this standard is limited indeed.”
