COURTHOUSE,
Oct 22 – For mailing
cocaine from California to his
apartment building in
Manhattan, a man pled guilty
on March 7 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Margaret M. Garnett.
Inner City Press is covering
the case.
The
complaint described the
mailing of 108 packages over
the course of a year, and has
images of text messages with
CC-1. Canine-1, a
Belgian Malinois mix,
indicated the drugs in the
33rd floor
apartment.
Defendant
Rodriguez was arrested on
March 15, 2024 at JFK Airport.
His sentencing was scheduled
for August 11 at 11 am - when
moved to September 18.
On June 27
co-defendent Aburto pled
guilty, with sentencing set
for September 25 at 11 am.
[On September 15
Aburto's counsel wrote in
asking for delay so that
Aburto has travel to Paris,
saying that the AUSA objects
to the continuance.]
On September 4
Rodriguez' lawyers in a heavy
redacted submission asked for
six to seven years when he is
sentenced on September 18.
On September 18
he was sentenced to 90 months:
seven and a half years, with a
recommendation he be
designated to a facility near
Los Angeles.
On October 16
co-defendant Aburto's lawyer
asked for time served;
sentencing is set for October
27 at 10 am.
On October 22 the
US Attorney's Office,
redacting the reason, asked
for "below 108 months." Can
you say, cooperation?
The
case is USA v. Rodriguez, et
al., 1:25-cr-93 (Garnett)
