Crack Sentencing Fair Sentencing Act Retroactivity 2010
Crack Sentencing Fair Sentencing Act Retroactivity 2010 – RI and MA criminal lawyer explains the import of the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, signed into law by Pres. Obama. The law changes crack cocaine sentencing and reduces the difference in sentencing between crack and powder cocaine offenders.
