United States v. Coleman, No. S1 01 Crim. 1042 (LAK), 2007 WL 2532258 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 5, 2007)
It's been over two years since the Supreme Court decided Booker and the Second Circuit decided Crosby. Shouldn't all Crosby remands have made their way through the system? Why are they still out there? In cases of still-pending Crosby remands, is justice denied because it has been delayed?
Take, for example, Coleman. In it, the court acknowledges that the case had been remanded pursuant to Crosby for resentencing. The court sets a date for resentencing. In doing so, it states that it "expressed the view at sentencing that the Guidelines sentence I then was required to impose was too harsh. I still am inclined to that view." If this re-sentencing had been wrapped up earlier, is there a possibility that Coleman could already be out?
