On February 15, the Sentencing Commission invited a diverse group of witnesses to testify about the skyrocketing growth in child pornography sentences. FAMM did not testify at the hearing but shared its concerns about lengthy child pornography sentences in comments filed with the Commission in August 2011.
A month later, the Commission held a hearing on the economic fraud guideline. FAMM has urged the Commission to conduct a comprehensive review of the fraud guideline. Just as we believe the weight of drugs plays too large a role in determining sentence length under the guidelines, we believe that the amount of loss plays an outsized role in setting fraud sentences.
