RELATED MOTORCYCLE CLUB INDICTMENT INVOLVING OTHER CLUB MEMBERS

Note:  All these above defendants faced a mandatory 10 year imprisonment by statute and alternatively 20 years mandatory minimum for those with prior convictions.  The above sentences were imposed as a result of various deals entered into by the defendants to avoid the mandatory minimums.  

Note on plea agreements:  Current policy in the Western District of Missouri is to file a separate non-public addendum with the court in cases where a defendant is a cooperating individual eligible for a possible rule 35 and/or 5K1.1 departure of the sentence. The plea agreement on file with PACER viewable here usually does not indicate one way or the other whether such an agreement is in place and may not therefore represent the full scope of the agreement between the government and the defendant in any particular case.
