Brief Explanation
Our client was facing up to a combined 35 years in prison. The Sentencing Guideline calculation would be 262 to 327 months imprisonment in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The Government filed a motion to revoke our client’s pretrial release. At the hearing on the revocation of the clients’ pretrial release, Cody Cofer cross-examined the lead case agent about the merits of the investigation and prosecution. On the drive home from court that day, Mr. Cofer received a call from the Government. The Government offered to allow the client to plead to a 5-year sentence.
