Khamphay Souvannarath pled guilty to being a felon in possession of two firearms, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), and to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1).
Souvannarath argues that the district court failed to adequately consider the sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), and as a result, it imposed an excessive sentence.
In light of Souvannarath's status as a career offender under U.S.S.G. 4B1.1, a total offense level of 29, and a criminal history category of VI, the presentence report calculated his guideline range to be 151 to 188 months.
Souvannarath, although she missed her sons, was happy to have found a small Laotian community, Asian foods, a Buddhist center, a boyfriend.
Souvannarath caught the flaw in his argument, pointing out there were healthy people in jail whom she could infect.
On April 22, 2001, Souvannarath and her daughters, dressed in traditional costume, bearing silver bowls of flowers, and surrounded by Campbell, the Sheriff, and the legal team of Fresno County, knelt and chanted Buddhist prayers at the steps of the County Jail.
