Description
In May 1990, a grand jury sitting in the San Antonio Division of the Western District of Texas returned a 24-count indictment charging 36 individuals with participating in a far-reaching criminal enterprise involving the importation, transportation, and distribution of substantial amounts of illegal drugs. The appellant, Oscar Martinez-Moncivais ("Martinez"), was specifically charged in Count Three of the indictment with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana and cocaine, and in Count Four with conspiracy to import with intent to distribtue marijuana and cocaine, all in violation of 21 U.S.C §Â§ 846 and 841(a)(1). The conspiracy began in 1983 and continued until the date of the superseding indictment in May of 1990. After a trial involving Martinez and two other defendants, the jury found Martinez not guilty on Count Four, but guilty on Count Three for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute in excess of 1,000 kilograms of marijuana, and in excess of 5 kilograms of cocaine. On May 11, 1992, the district court Judge sentenced Martinez under the sentencing guidelines to imprisonment for 262 months, supervised release for five years, and fined him $10,000 exclusive of the special assessment.
