SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 22 – Lorenzo Maciel
Solorio has served 17 months
in prison on drug charges.
Now he faces
deportation to Mexico.
On April 22, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge J. Paul Oetken held his
sentencing. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
defendant was found eligible
for the safety valve and was
asking for time served. But
what about supervised
release?
Judge Oetken said
he only wanted the two years
of supervised release to apply
if the defendant was in the
United States, not in Mexico.
And so that was the special
condition.
One notes, for
example from the Honduras
narco-cases of presidential
brother Tony Hernandez, that
people can commit US crimes
while outside of the US. But
that's beyond the scope of
this case.
The case is US v.
Ramos, et al., 20-cr-29
(Oetken)
