What Could Happen at Trial? | Law Office of John Guidry

John Guidry

Oh, the questions I get. I wish I could answer every one of them. After defending criminal cases here in Central Florida for over 30 years, I have a pretty good idea of what happens at a criminal trial. But I’ve also been around long enough to know that I don’t know everything. There are some things we know we don’t know, and there are some things we don’t know that we don’t know.

Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Seal

United States v. Marlon Jones, Docket # 22-30480

Marlon Jones appeals the district court’s resentencing of Jones following its revocation of his supervised release. Jones argues that the district court incorrectly determined that it was required to classify Jones’s 2009 drug conviction as a Class A felony pursuant to the law as it stood at the time of his original conviction, rather than as a Class B felony pursuant to the law as it had changed under the retroactively applicable First Step Act of Because the Fifth Circuit held that the district court was not prohibited from considering changes in law made retroactively applicable by Congress under the First Step Act, it vacated Jones’s sentence and REMAND for resentencing.
