Update Acquitted Conduct Petition 08/2023

Greetings community! I hope all is well with you.  Our fight to change the use of acquitted conduct is far from over.  The Sentencing Commission has made acquitted conduct a priority.  The Supreme Court recently denied several petitions for writs of certiorari* related to the use of acquitted conduct.  In issuing the denials, three Justices supported the denial to allow the Commission more time to address the issue.  "Last year's amendment cycle was busy and abbreviated.  The commission appreciates the opportunity to give proper attention to acquitted conduct and we will do so this year," said Judge Reeves.
