FEDERAL CRIMINAL - The Bonderud Law Firm Completes Four-Day Jury Trial in Ocala

Last week, The Bonderud Law Firm completed a four-day federal criminal jury trial in the Ocala Division of the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The Firm’s client was charged with some of the most serious charges with which anyone could be charged in federal court, including a narcotics distribution conspiracy, possession of a firearm in furtherance of such conspiracy, and possession with intent to distribute narcotics. Seven alleged co-conspirators pled guilty prior to trial, but the Firm’s client pled not guilty and requested a jury trial. On Thursday, April 28, 2022, the federal jury returned its verdict, convicting the Firm’s client. After the trial, the US Department of Justice issued a press release that can be viewed here:

Their press release noted that the case was “investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration with support from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, the Unified Drug Enforcement Strike Team, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, and the Gainesville Police Department.”
