SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 23 – Edwin Cruz was
charged in a drug conspiracy,
with transporting 2.1
kilograms of heroin. He is
quoted, "I knew this was a
drop."
On May 21,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Victor Marrero held a
sentencing proceeding. Inner
City Press covered it.
The
guideline sentence was 87 to
108 months. The defendant's
lawyer spoke about lead
poisoning, addiction, and the
relatively limited role of
transporting drugs.
Judge
Marrero imposed a sentence of
81 months, to be followed by
three years of supervised
release.
The case is US v.
Kitchens, 20-cr-452 (Marrero)
