Appeals court orders resentencing for Rand Paul attacker

A federal appeals court on Monday vacated what it called a “well-below-guidelines” prison sentence for the man who tackled U.S. Sen. Rand Paul outside his Kentucky home, ordering a resentencing for the attack that broke the lawmaker’s ribs. The three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it found “no compelling justification” for Rene Boucher’s 30-day sentence. The Republican senator was tackled by Boucher in late 2017 when Paul’s then-neighbor became angry over lawn maintenance at the senator’s home.
