[2] In 2003, Krieger sentenced Scott Lee Kimball to time served and three years' supervised release for passing bad checks in Alaska, as well as full restitution and a $5,000 fine, per a plea agreement between him and the government that took into account Kimball's service up to that point as an FBI informant.

Unbeknownst to her, the FBI or anyone else involved in his case, Kimball had already committed three of the four serial murders he would later plead guilty to; he is currently serving a 70-year sentence.

At the sentencing, Krieger expressed some reservations about Kimball's reticence about his own financial situation in the face of his willingness to inform on others, but since she could not find any legal precedent for refusing the downward departure from the Federal Sentencing Guidelines the prosecution asked for in exchange for his demonstrated cooperation, she granted it.

[3] In 2010, Krieger denied a new trial for former Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio's 2007 conviction of insider trading charges.

[4] In 2018, Krieger declined a request to return an imprisoned transgender woman, Lindsay Saunders-Velez, to her cell after her lawyers argued that the "punishment pod" she had been assigned to after a minor infraction housed several male inmates who had tormented her previously.
