The United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana overruled his objection and re-imposed the 15-year sentence.[3] Erlinger appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which affirmed his sentence, holding that the government was only required to prove the burglary question to the judge by a preponderance of the evidence, as opposed to beyond a reasonable doubt.[2][4] The Supreme Court granted certiorari on November 20, 2023.[1]
