Yikes: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson sentenced those in possession of child pornography to nearly 60 percent less time than the national average.
“I don’t feel that it is appropriate, necessarily, to increase the penalty on the basis of your use of a computer or the number of images or prepubescent victims as the Guidelines require because these circumstances exist in many cases, if not most, and don’t signal an especially heinous or egregious child pornography offense.”in 2019, Jackson told the defendant that adjustments must be made to the sentence because she disagrees with the congressional policy of the sentencing guidelines.
“I have long considered it appropriate to make some adjustments to the calculation as it relates to child pornography cases.” “I’ve stated in similar cases, and I’ll say here again, that the guideline factors are in many ways outdated and, in general, they no longer adequately distinguish between more serious and less serious child pornography distribution offenses,” she continued. “I have decided to apply my general policy disagreement with respect to those two enhancements, at least that is the computers and the number of images.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will reportedly vote on Jackson’s confirmation next week and as early as Monday.
