| United States District Court for the District of Minnesota *USA v. Buchanan 0:09-cr-00045-PJS-RLE |
|---|
| On January 4, 2010, Judge Schlitz issued an order on why restitution for damages was not asked for by federal prosecutors in the case of Brandon Anthony Buchanan of St. Paul, who was convicted on possession of child pornography. The judge also criticized the District of Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office for not taking a stand in demanding restitution from those convicted of child pornography offenses. Prosecutors were given until January 29, 2010 to respond to the judge's order on why restitution was not required. In his ruling, the judge said: "the Court will no longer accept silence"[3].
