SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 10 – Ramos Daniel Felix
Leonardo a/k/a Eddie was
facing trial on drug charges
when he fled to the Dominican
Republic.
On August
10, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Katherine Polk
Failla held his sentencing.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Judge
Failla said while it was
certainly the defendant's
right to go to trial, the
fleeing was a problem, it put
his family at risk.
The defendant
said he hasn't seen his
children in five years; his
lawyer said he did not oppose
extradition from the Dominican
Republic.
He
wanted 32 months; the
guidelines ran to 127 months.
Judge Failla arrived at 60
months in prison.
The overall case
is US v. Peguero Varela et al,
17-cr-636 (Failla)
