Even with minimum mandatory guidelines, government giving him a "safety valve" that lets them depart to 24 months, what's recommendedby Milton Valencia via twitter 12/22/2015 4:28:18 PM

Judge recalculates guidelines based on Silva's assistance, so without minimum mandatories it's 37 to 46 months. Government recommending 24by Milton Valencia via twitter 12/22/2015 4:30:00 PM

Keep in mind this is a heroin case when talking sentencing. Question is whether gun is relevant to it, deserves enhancement. Gov't says yes.by Milton Valencia via twitter 12/22/2015 4:52:10 PM
