Henry v. United States
Henry v. United States
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, 19 years old and having pleaded guilty to robbing a McDonald’s restaurant at gunpoint, argues on appeal that the trial court improperly sentenced him to imprisonment as an adult rather than for treatment and supervision under the Federal Youth Corrections Act, 18 U. S.C. § 5005 et seq. (1969).
The sentencing judge had before him at the time of sentencing a recommendation from the Classification Committee at the Youth Center against application of the Youth Act to appellant.
Affirmed.
. The Classification Committee’s report, under seal, was made a part of the record and, as such, has been reviewed by us.
. The trial court specifically noted (R. at 9) appellant’s “long criminal record for crimes of violence”; that appellant, while treated as a juvenile and after having been placed on probation, proceeded to commit another crime for which he was then placed in a juvenile institution; and, finally, that appellant had carried out this robbery after having been released from the juvenile institution.
