United States First Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for conspiracy to commit armed robbery of an armored truck and unlawful killing of a guard during the robbery are affirmed where: 1) there is no plain error in the district court's failure to effect literal compliance with the "explanation" requirement of section 3553; 2) defendant's sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of release falls within the GSR for the offense of conviction; and 3) the district court properly refused to take a fresh look at the double jeopardy claim on remand for resentencing.
