SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 15 – Jaime Santana pled
guilty to participating in a
racketeering conspiracy, and
participating in a conspiracy
to distribute and possess with
intent to distribute
methamphetamine and
cocaine.
On August 13, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Vernon S. Broderick held his
sentencing. Inner City Press
covered it.
Many
questions arose about
Santana's previous
convictions, in the
pre-sentencing report.
Particularly at issue were
convictions in South Dakota,
and Tennessee.
Judge Broderick
offered to postpone the
sentencing but Santana said he
wanted to go
forward.
When he
spoke, Santana disputed that
he had been a leader. Judge
Broderick credited him for
time in jail during the COVID
pandemic, noting that he had
gotten COVID and told his
mother he thought he would
die.
Santana
said thanks. He got 110 months
and five years of supervised
release.
The case is US v.
Santana, 19-cr-734 (Broderick)
