United States Sixth Circuit

In a case where defendant participated in a scheme in which the family of a bank manager was taken hostage and they threatened to blow up the bank manager's husband with a bomb unless the bank manager retrieved money from a bank vault, defendant's 396-month sentence for bank robbery imposed on remand is affirmed over defendant's meritless claims that the sentence was procedurally and substantively unreasonable.
