		<description><![CDATA[ Criminal Defense Attorneys Must File Objections to Pre-Sentence Report in Federal Criminal Cases to Protect Appellate Rights

By: Houston Criminal Attorney John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair

The United States Congress, with the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, established the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. These “Guidelines” not only guide but require U.S. District Court judges to consider all the sentencing factors Congress set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) before imposing sentence in criminal cases. The U.S. Supreme Court in a series of cases has made it abundantly clear that the Guidelines are not mandatory but rather advisory in nature—a guide for the judge to utilize in crafting the appropriate sentence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Texas Juries Can No Longer Recommend Community Supervision When Victim is Child Under 15, Elderly or Disabled

By: Houston Criminal Defense Attorney John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair 

Community supervision, or probation as most people know it, has been defined by federal courts as an “imprisonment substitute” because the criminal sentence is not served in a penal institution. See: United States v. Elkins, 176 F.3d 1016, 1020 (7th Cir. 1999).]]></description>
