United States Sixth Circuit

Re-imposition of a sentence upon remand on a defendant convicted of possessing child pornography is vacated and remanded as the district court imposed its original sentence on defendant without considering general deterrence to the population at large and articulating how it avoids unwarranted sentence disparities under 18 U.S.C. section 3553(a).
