Two interesting and intricate Ninth Circuit rulings
Though not dealing directly with sentencing issues, two criminal law decisions today from the Ninth Circuit caught my eye. Folks interested in a range of federal criminal justice issues may want to check out US v. Arreola, No. 04-10504 (9th Cir. Apr. 26, 2006) (available here) (discussing whether the language of 924(c)(1)(A) "defines two offenses or two means of committing a single offense"), and US v. Rosenthal, No. 03-10307 (9th Cir. Apr. 26, 2006) (available here) (discussing various issues in the course of reversing a conviction based on juror misconduct in a medical marijuana prosecution from California).

Re: Rosenthal, interesting footnote (8) suggesting that if the court were not reversing anyway, it would uphold the below guidelines sentence (10 levels down) as reasonable.
