United States Third Circuit

Defendants, who were convicted of crack cocaine offenses and whose original sentences were below the mandatory minimum applicable to them because of substantial assistance to the government, are not barred for policy reasons from seeking a reduction of sentence pursuant to Fair Sentencing Act (FSA), and thus the district court's orders denying their FSA motions are vacated and remanded. (Revised opinion)
