Description
Jack Montgomery Painter pleaded guilty to one count of accessory after the fact for concealing from federal authorities the whereabouts of his fugitive son. See 18 U.S.C. çç 3, 3146(a)(1), (b)(1)(A)(i). The district court sentenced Painter to three years probation and imposed a $52,200 fine. Painter appeals the fine, which far exceeds the maximum $5,000 fine under the sentencing guidelines. Because the district court departed on impermissible grounds from the sentencing guidelines range, we reverse and remand for resentencing.
