July 9, 2019, Essex Superior Court case no. 1777CR000435 charging trafficking heroin/fentanyl over 200 grams, trafficking cocaine over 36 grams, conspiracy. Government alleges client is mastermind of large-scale heroin delivery enterprise. Following extensive discovery litigation, we generate evidence calling into question reliability of government informant. Though client faces 12 year minimum mandatory, and client has served two prior prison sentences for similar offenses, government agrees to resolve case with a plea to 3 - 4 years committed.
