DAVID TORO CHASE RE-SENTENCED IN U.S. DISTRICT COURT
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Missoula, on April 10, 2008, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy, DAVID TORO CHASE, a 34-year-old resident of Missoula, appeared for re-sentencing. CHASE was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 177 months
- Special Assessment: $300
- Restitution: $16,195.71
- Supervised Release: 3 years
CHASE was re-sentenced for a second time after the initial re-sentencing of his original sentence was reversed and remanded back again to U.S. District Court for re-sentencing.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that CHASE will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, CHASE does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Josh Van de Wetering prosecuted this case for the United States.
