Americans do have parole boards. They also have some mandatory sentences, mostly I think for federal crimes.

"Assistant US attorney Alison More told the judge, 'The 2003 guidelines were inadequate. Consider the sophistication of her predatory conduct. We ask the court to send a message no one is above the law.'

It would appear the guidelines were inadequate since they were later amended to recommend longer sentences.

However, should an Assistant US Attorney not have known the guidelines to be used were those in effect at the time of the offences?
