SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 6 –Edward Rodriguez pled
guilty to conspiracy to
distribute oxycodone; he has
been in jail since November
2019.
On October
6 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan held his
sentencing.
The US Attorney's
Office was asking for at least
24 months. But Rodriguez'
lawyer spoke movingly about
his Bronxite client's two
daughters, ages 1 and 3, and
argued that one of his prior
convictions was, essentially,
nothing.
That was
resolved for time served which
was one day. And in this case
Judge Kaplan said he was moved
by Rodriguez' letter and
sincerity, and agreed to time
served plus three years of
supervised release.
The case is
US v. Rodriguez, 18-cr-817
(Kaplan).
