Law - Blakely waiver?
This paragraph from this entry today in Jason Hernandez' Blakely Blog caught my attention:
Talk about bad timing. Imagine having your sentence affirmed on June 23, 2004 and then a day later, Blakely is decided. You then petition for a rehearing, raising Blakey issues and the court says that because you didn't raise the issue on the 23rd, you're out of luck. It happened in the 11th Circuit in US v. Levy, 2004 U.S. App. LEXIS 15924 (11th Cir., 2004) (per curiam). Ouch! Is it me, or does it rub you the wrong way that none of the judges put their name on this opinion?Douglas Berman also referred to this ruling this morning in Sentencing Law and Policy blog. Access US v. Levy here.
