United States v. Navedo-Ramirez, No. 12-2490 (1st Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseDefendant, a veteran of the Puerto Rico Police Department, was convicted of aiding and abetting an attempt to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. The conviction arose from Defendant’s provision of armed protection at a sham drug transaction orchestrated by the FBI as part of a sting operation designed to identify corrupt police officers. Defendant was sentenced to 181 months’ imprisonment. The First Circuit affirmed the conviction and sentence, holding (1) the district court did not err in its evidentiary rulings; and (2) the district court did not err in finding no sentencing factor manipulation and therefore did not err by failing to grant a downward variance in sentencing.
