Bradford Cohen, Shiesty’s attorney, said he was pleased with the sentence.
“The federal sentencing guidelines placed him at a high end of 107 months, the government agreed to not seek more than 97 months. [and] we argued that the guidelines weren’t appropriately applied and requested 63 months,” he told PEOPLE. “The judge agreed after a 2-hour hearing in the matter.”
“We are pleased that he took all the evidence and argument into consideration and look forward to Lontrell having a successful career in the future.”
