Christiansen, Brian R.
- Abstract
In this article the author discusses the ruling of the U.S. Eight Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the U.S. v. Anderson court case wherein Aaron Anderson was sentenced for 30 years in prison for drug trafficking with additional three years for constructively possessing a dangerous weapon. He is critical on the court's implementation of the U.S. sentencing guidelines. He argues for a change in the Eight Circuit's decision related to the interpretation of the guideline.
