      "title": "Sentencing Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines: An Abridged Terrorism Related Example",
      "summary": "Until recently, the federal Sentencing Guidelines determined the sentences meted out as\npunishment\nfor most federal crimes. Then the Supreme Court declared that as a matter of constitutional necessity\nthe Guidelines must be viewed as advisory rather than mandatory. The Guidelines remain a major\nconsideration nevertheless. The Guidelines system is essentially a scorecard system. The purpose\nof this report is to give a bare bones description of the score-keeping process with a simple example\nof how it works in a terrorism related case.\n This report is an abridged version -- without footnotes, appendices, and most of its quotation\nmarks and citations of authority -- of  CRS Report RL32846(pdf) ,  How the Federal Sentencing\nGuidelines\nWork: Two Examples .",
