February 28 sentencing for 'Dudus'
BY HAROLD G BAILEY Observer writer
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
NEW YORK, USA — Former Tivoli Gardens enforcer Christopher 'Dudus' Coke is to be sentenced on February 28 in a Manhattan court.
United States Federal Judge Robert P Patterson set the new date following an agreement between prosecutors and Coke's defence team.
Coke was previously scheduled to be sentenced yesterday, but last week his attorney Stephen H Rosen requested a postponement. It was the second time that the sentencing was being postponed as Coke was first set to be sentenced on December 8 of last year.
Coke has been in custody here since June of 2010, after waiving his rights to an extradition hearing on drugs and gunrunning charges.
In a plea bargaining deal last August, he pleaded to conspiracy, conspiracy to commit assault and racketeering. Under this agreement Coke could spend more than 20 years behind bars.
He has already written Judge Patterson asking for leniency in his sentence.
