What is proportionality of a sentence for possession of a firearm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Hamblin, 852 F.2d 1290 (9th Cir. 1988):
Our proportionality analysis is guided in part by three objective factors: (1) the gravity of the offense and the harshness of the penalty; (2) the sentences imposed on other criminals in the same jurisdiction; and (3) the sentences imposed for commission of the same crime in other jurisdictions. Id. at 292; United States v. Terrovona, 785 F.2d 767, 771 (9th Cir.1986).
