Our Napa County client was charged with a 23-count Indictment in the United States District Court Northern District of California in San Francisco with thirteen counts of violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341—Mail Fraud; five counts of violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343—Wire Fraud and five counts of violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1957—Money Laundering.  There was also a forfeiture allegation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C), 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(2) and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c). Client plead guilty to one count of violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341—Mail Fraud and one count of violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7201—Tax Evasion, with a loss of almost one million dollars.  All other counts were dismissed.  After aggressive and thorough investigation and use of a psychological evaluation and other mitigating evidence, client was sentenced to well below the federal sentencing guideline range with the opportunity to take an extra year off his sentence by participating in the federal Residential Drug and Alcohol Program (RDAP).

ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY

“The death penalty is a lie, a misguided mistake born of anger and frustration. Capital punishment has become a perverse monument to inequality, to how some lives matter and others do not. It is a violent example of how we protect and value the rich and abandon and devalue the poor. The death penalty is a grim, disturbing shadow formed by the legacy of racial apartheid and bias against the poor that condemns the disfavored among us, but corrupts us all. It’s the perverse symbol elected officials use to strengthen their ‘tough on crime’ reputations and distract us from confronting the causes of violence. It is finally the enemy of grace, redemption and all of us who recognize that each person is more than their worse act.”
