SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 5 – Robinson Ramirez was
sentenced to 72 months
imprisonment and five years of
Supervised Released for
cocaine and heroin - back in
2008. On December 5 for a
Violation of Supervised
Release he appeared again in
front of U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Alvin K.
Hellerstein.
Ramirez was being supervised
by the U.S. Department of
Probation in South Florida
when he left for Colombia,
without telling his probation
officer. Then he attempted to
re-enter the United States
through Texas. He got
caught. Judge
Hellerstein on December 5 said
this was a serious offense,
that Supervised Release is an
integral part of criminal
justice sentencing that the
public counts on. He sentenced
Ramirez to seven months in
prison, and another three
years of Supervised Release.
(He explained the reduction in
Supervised Release as being
based on the Department of
Probation being
overstretched).
Ramirez has three children,
two of them ages five and two,
in Florida. He requested and
obtained a recommendation to
be in a prison in South
Florida, to facilitate family
visits. The case is US v.
Ramirez, 06-cr-375
(Hellerstein).
