Heading: Mr. Sandusky’s Leadership Role

Text: As explained in more detail in Section D infra , Mr. Sandusky’s and Mr. Osborne’s offense levels were increased 2 points for their leadership role in the crime. Because this sentencing factor was not submitted to the jury, Mr. Sandusky argues that he was sentenced in violation of Apprendi . In light of our holding above that Mr. Sandusky was properly sentenced to 110 months imprisonment and could have been sentenced to 120 months, it follows that the 2- level enhancement did not increase his sentence beyond the statutory maximum. Accordingly, “his sentence does not run afoul of the rule in Apprendi .” United States v. Sullivan , 242 F.3d 1248, 1257 (10th Cir. 2001).
