Taquarius Kaream Ford v. United States
FifthAmendment HabeasCorpus
When two Sex Trafficking statutes combine into a single Count, does the penalty for Sex Trafficking Conspiracy under 18 U.S.C. Section 1594(c) which has no required mandatory-minimum, take precedence over the substantive punishment of 18 U.S.C. Section 1591(b) which has a guaranteed mandatory-minimum of 15 years?
And is it Double Jeopardy when the two above statutes affirm guilt by joining them "together" in multiple counts? There is a major divide in the circuits about this.
