MR. KHOJAYAN’S CLIENT OBTAINS CASA DIVERSION AVOIDING A CONVICTION AND SENTENCE IN A 10 YEAR MANDATORY MINIMUM DRUG AND RICO CASE — THE ONLY DEFENDANT OUT OF 70 DEFENDANTS TO OBTAIN SUCH A RESULT
A 29 count indictment charged 70 defendants with RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) conspiracy and narcotics trafficking that would otherwise result in a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years in prison for each defendant. Mr. Khojayan’s client was recorded on phone calls and reports of investigation helping arrange narcotics distribution. His client had minor prior criminal history, which although “expunged” still counted under the federal sentencing guidelines.
