United States v. Medeiros, No. 08-CR-0696 (JBW), 2009 WL 1764981 (E.D.N.Y. June 18, 2009)

Short Note:

Medeiros pled guilty to illegal re-entry into the United States.an offense for which he faced an advisory Guidelines range of 70 to 87 months imprisonment.  He received a sentence of 24 months home detention.

Why?  "Important considerations include the defendant's good work history, his college education and intelligence, and his support of his family.  He has been caring for his wife, who suffers from a serious health condition."  Oh, and there's the likely post-release deportation too.
