I can see it making a difference when presented to jury, if it's admitted as evidence. It may not be main evidence but combined altogether with other things they did, it might tilt the balance into the "sentence them closer the maximum term limit" vs the "lower end".

Judges not juries determine sentences in the US. In federal court the Guidelines are applied resembling nothing so much as a Pathfinder grapple roll.
