United States v. Jaime L. Ferra
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided April 24, 1990No. 89-1507PublishedCited by 126 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.
Jaime Ferra was a fence specializing in weapons. He is in prison for selling both guns and cocaine to undercover agents. The district court departed from the Sentencing Guidelines, giving Ferra 120 months’ imprisonment instead of the 41-51 months they prescribe. Although Ferra’s appellate lawyer raises a dozen issues, only four call for comment: the adequacy of hearings on motion to suppress evidence and exclude co-conspirator hearsay, the propriety of an instruction telling the jury that errors of law are corrected on appeal, and the departure from the Guidelines.
