pooja195:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @pooja195 Marcelo Manrique was convicted in federal court in regards to possession of child pornography \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) This goes with number 1 But add: Marcelo Manrique was convicted in federal court in regards to possession of child pornography. He was sentenced to life in prison. "It also acknowledged that restitution was mandatory but deferred determination of the restitution amount. Petitioner filed a notice of appeal from this initial judgment. Months later, the District Court entered an amended judgment, ordering petitioner to pay restitution to one of his victims. Petitioner did not file a second notice of appeal from the amended judgment. When he nonetheless challenged the restitution amount before the Eleventh Circuit, the Government argued that he had forfeited his right to do so by failing to file a second notice of appeal. "

iosangel:

oh ok

pooja195:

Justice Ginsburg filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justice Sotomayor joined. Justice Gorsuch took no part in the consideration or decision of the case." \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) This is for #2 remember, that you need to change these into your own words

pooja195:

3: What was the vote in the decision? 6-2, this is stated in my previous message

pooja195:

4: Name the part of the Constitution that was involved in the case. 18 U. S. C. §§2252(a)(4)(B) and (b)(2), an offense requiring a district court to “make restitution to the victim of the offense,” §3663A(a)(1). This information was provided on this site: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/15-7250_3eb4.pdf

pooja195:

5: Do you agree or disagree with the Court's ruling? Support your opinion. This is your opinion
