More than three years ago, a federal jury acquitted Antwaun Ball on racketeering and conspiracy charges that he led a violent drug gang in the Congress Park neighborhood in Southeast Washington, convicting him solely of a $600, half-ounce drug deal. But at Ball's long-delayed sentencing Thursday, U.S. District Judge Richard W. Roberts disagreed, saying he saw clear evidence of a drug conspiracy before sentencing Ball, 40, to more than 18 years in prison for his conviction in the 2001 hand-to-hand drug transaction.

Few inmates are held at the city jail in Washington, D.C., for even a year before they're sent off to a federal prison or released, but Larry Wilkerson has been locked up there just short of a decade, making him among the longest-serving D.C. Jail inmates. Convicted of murder, conspiracy and drug offenses, Wilkerson finally had his sentencing on Tuesday in federal court in Washington after years of post-trial litigation. His attorney, Sebastian Graber, made a novel - but not unprecedented - plea: Conditions are so bad at the D.C. Jail, he argued, that nine years served there ought to equal 20 or more years in a federal prison.
A Mingo County woman who admitted that she helped murder a federal drug informant was sentenced in federal court Thursday to 30 years in prison. Patricia Burton, 41, of North Matewan, pleaded guilty in December 2005 to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and using a firearm during the commission of a drug crime, but her sentencing was delayed for more than four years until charges against others involved in the case were resolved.
Criminal Law: Instructions - Drug Quantity - Sentencing Where a defendant convicted of drug conspiracy charges objected to the Eighth Circuit's model instruction on reasonable doubt and argued for a proposed instruction on the testimony of co- defendants, the district court did not abuse its discretion in giving the model instructions, and the court's determination of the drug quantity by a preponderance of the evidence did not violate the defendant's Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights, and the defendant's sentence was not unreasonable.
