23 years behind bars

Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke appeared before Judge Robert Patterson in a United States Court on Friday morning for his sentencing.

Coke pleaded guilty last August, confessing to racketeering, conspiracy and conspiracy to commit assault. It was alleged that before receiving the actual sentencing, the drug lord sought to inform the judge of that he is still a pretty decent guy, “Sir, I’m not going to stand in this court and tell you I’m a saint. I’m a good person. I’ve done a lot of good things to help people in my community.”

He was subsequently given a 23-year timeout after prosecutors lobbied for him to receive the maximum sentence.
