Today the 'Millenium bombers' 22 year sentance for an attempted bombing of the Los Angeles Airport in 1999 was overturned so prosecuers could seek out a longer sentance for the crime. It was proved that a lower court did not use federal sentancing guidlines when giving Ahmed Ressam the 22 year prison sentance.The federal guidelines indicate that he should have received 65 years to life in prison according to the U.S. attorney's office. In my view this is the lower courts fault because they should have followed the federal sentancing guidlines. The judge who handed out the original sentance should get some sort of disiplinary action taken towards him for handed out the wrong sentance.
