SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 28 – Robert Pena
was charged with, and pled
guilty to, conspiring to rob a
drug dealer who was in fact
fictitious.
On July 28 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Edgardo Ramos held a
sentencing for Pena. Inner
City Press covered
it.
The AUSA's
sentencing letter recites that
"[o]n or about November 5,
2020, Pena pleaded guilty to
Count One" - meaning, it
seems, 2019. The US Attorney's
Office asked for a sentence
within the 57 to 71 month
guideline.
Pena's
lawyer argued that he has
almost withdrawn from the
conspiracy. Almost.
Judge Ramos noted
that he had already sentenced
Pena's co-defendant to 40
months and proceeded to do the
same with Pena.
The case is US v.
Pena, 18-cr-844 (Ramos)
