SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 12 – Ricardo Reynoso pled
guilty to selling 320 grams of
fentanyl to CC-1, previous
arrested with 1.12 kilos of
heroin and since "deactivated
as a confidential
source."
On
December 11, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Katherine Polk Failla held
Reynoso's sentence, by Skype
Video. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge
Failla asked AUSA Ryan Finkel
if his barebones sentencing
submission meant that his
Office didn't stand behind the
guideline sentence being asked
for: 37 to 46 months.
Finkel said the
submission spoke for
itself.
While
Reynoso's retained counsel
asked for time served, saying
his client and his mother are
thinking of starting a
trucking company, Judge Failla
after briefly turning off her
camera and microphone returned
with a sentence of six
months.
The Reynoso
family was upset. Judge Failla
asked if they'd like to
briefly turn off their camera.
They did, then
returned. Defense counsel
asked for home incarceration,
but Judge Failla said she'd
already considered that. The
turn-in date, however, is in
April, due to COVID.
The case is US v.
Reynoso, 19-cr-735 (Failla)
