Are you or a loved one serving a lengthy sentence in federal court? Recent changes in the compassionate release laws allow the court to look more fully at disparity resulting in someone having been sentenced under laws that no longer apply. Effective November 1, 2023, changes were made to the definition of “Extraordinary and Compelling Reasons,” expanding the criteria for compassionate release and retaining a catch-all criteria of “other reasons.” Federal judges have more discretion than ever before to look at the sentence imposed and revise it. Contact Hayes Ruemmele to speak to us about a sentence modification.
