2022-03-24Reasoning
PolitiFact rated this Mostly False. While Jackson did issue some below-guideline sentences, her record was in line with most federal judges — judges nationally impose below-guideline sentences in over two-thirds of child pornography cases. Hawley also omitted cases where prosecutors themselves recommended below-guideline sentences.
