United States Second Circuit

In the appeal of a judgment reducing the prison sentence of a defendant convicted of racketeering and other offenses for his assistance in discovering explosive components related to the Oklahoma City bombing, the government refused to move for a reduction, complaining of the defendant's untruthfulness, and averred that the court misapplied legal standards in determining they could reduce the sentence without a government motion. The court agreed, reversing the decision and remanding the case.
