Description
EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge. Sidney Springs, a member of Chicagos Fire Department, offered $12,500 for a police officers aid in stealing six kilograms of cocaine from a fellow purveyor of illegal drugs. The officer pretended to accept the bribe but alerted federal officials, who thwarted the plan. Springs pleaded guilty to three felony charges, including extortion and attempting to possess the six kilograms of cocaine. The Sentencing Guidelines prescribe a range of 135-168 months for Springs offenses; in February 1989 the district court imposed a sentence of 135 months imprisonment. His lawyer asked the district Judge to give a sentence lower than 135 months, to which the Judge replied: "There isnt anything in this case, anything that suggests any legal reason that I could go outside the Guidelines." Springs did not appeal.
