Annual Developments in Sentencing & Post-Trial—2006

摘要

The 2006 court term proved to be quite eventful in the areas of both sentencing and post-trial. In the past couple of court terms significant cases were decided in both areas. Since the bulk of courtroom time is spent handling guilty pleas and conducting sentencing cases, both trial counsel and defense counsel need to remain intimately familiar with the RCM 1001 and the case law that interprets it. Similarly, since there are still a number of cases still in the appellate queue, none of the services are by any means out of the Moreno woods. It will certainly be an interesting year to see how the courts handle post-trial delay cases if the processing time cases continue to decline.
