United States v. Babb, 1:04CR190-ELH, ECF No. 274 (D. Md. June 4, 2021)
Unusual win under both the compassionate release statute and the crack retroactivity amendment, section 404 of the First Step Act. Mr. Babb had been serving a mandatory life sentence based on two § 851s, only one of which would still qualify today. Despite “extensive” criminal history, the court found that Mr. Babb “has continuously endeavored to improve himself and those around him.”
