Making Punishment More Fair

In todays "Cedar Rapids Gazette" was a very interesting article, "Making Punishment More Fair." The article was informative but incorrect in some areas. To begin with, it was'nt our wonderful Congress that changed the disparity between crack and cocaine, it was the United States Sentencing Commission, (USSC). The sentencing commission amended the 100 - 1 ratio in the sentencing under the United States Sentencing Guidelines (USSG) under Amendment 9 of the guidelines to a more reasonable 20 - 1. The amendment was passed in December 2007 and went into effect on March 3, 2008 and it is retroactive which means that it applies to all most all crack cocaine offenders doing time in federal prison. Attorneys who defended crack cocaine offenders are not obligated to prepare petitions and pleadings for defendants. However, many will. There are non-attorneys who can be found on the internet who prepare petitions and pleadings of this kind and others who are very good at what they do. One such non-attorney is www.duranceconsultantspcc.com. The guy has paid his dues by having spent many many years in prison working in the prison law library. He's very good at what he does and his rates are very
reasonable. He's honest and fair. Check him out.
