Description
The United States appeals the 12-month sentence of Octavio Reyes Villegas, who was convicted of one count of conspiracy to sell counterfeit currency in violation of 18 U.S.C. ร§ 922(g)(1). The district court granted Villegas a downward departure from the Sentencing Guidelines apparently on the basis either that Villegas was the victim of sentencing entrapment, or that he was subjected to sentencing manipulation by the investigating authorities. We vacate and remand for resentencing.
