United States Sixth Circuit

Defendant's sentence for involuntary manslaughter resulting from an automobile accident in a national park that killed his two passengers is affirmed over the government's claims that the district court erred in awarding a two-level reduction for acceptance of responsibility, and that a downward variance from the advisory guideline range was substantively unreasonable.
