Week in review
The week ahead has the exciting sentencing events of oral argument in Ohio's Blakely cases and a Booker panel at the ACS conference, and I suspect the buzzing over the nomination of John Roberts will continue at a fever pitch. (My major posts exploring how a Justice Roberts might impact the Supreme Court's criminal sentencing jurisprudence are all linked here, and a related article is discussed here.) And the week just completed, as detailed below, included other noteworthy sentencing developments.
