United States v. Murphy

Aaron Murphy was a convicted drug dealer and admitted addict. He used his home for drug-related activity. The only issue in his case before the Tenth Circuit was whether that use of his home was enough to warrant an enhancement to his sentence under USSG 2D1.1(b)(12), which increased guideline sentences when drug-related activities are one of the home’s primary, as opposed to incidental, uses. The district judge properly applied the enhancement. Finding no abuse of discretion, the Tenth Circuit affirmed. View "United States v. Murphy" on Justia Law
