Illegal Sentence

US v. Watson, No. 06-3012 (D.C. Cir. February 23, 2007)
Sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm and of possession of marijuana is reversed where the district court plainly erred in thinking the statutory maximum to which defendant could be sentenced was 20 years, when in fact it was 10 years.
