When sentencing criminals with multiple convictions of assault against law enforcement, Judge Jackson repeatedly sentences defendants lower than the designated Sentencing Guidelines range.
Judge Jackson sentenced a defendant who had been convicted of assaulting a police officer for a third time to a term below the guidelines and lower than what was requested by both the government and the defense counsel.
- In U.S. v. Jenkins, No. 14-cr-0003 (D.D.C), the defendant pleaded guilty to his third conviction of assaulting a law enforcement officer.
- The government requested the defendant be locked away for close to 30 months. The defendant requested 21 months.
- Judge Jackson sentenced the defendant to only 18 months.
