In a Medicare fraud case involving the embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars, U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore, Jr., granted the request of defense attorney, Tom Withers, to sentence his client below the advisory guideline range of imprisonment. Mr. Withers had filed a detailed Sentencing Memorandum outlining the various reasons, including the client’s long history of good works both personally and professionally, the Judge could use in granting a downward variance from the sentencing guidelines.
