United States v. Davis, 3:90CR85, ECF No. 277 (W.D.N.C. June 2, 2021)
Davis, along with three co-defendants (Whitener/Cecil Jackson/Orrin Jackson) are the first "excessive sentence” compassionate release wins out of the Western District of North Carolina. Each defendant's sentence was reduced to time-served after being convicted in 1990 of stacked § 924c counts, with sentences ranging from 660 to 1,620 months. Looking at factors such as their youth at the time of the convictions, their rehabilitation efforts in BOP, and family and community support, as well as the FSA changes to 924c sentencing, the court reduced their sentences to time served.
