A defendant who had faced federal charges on three separate prior occasions was sentenced to ten years in prison, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
The Justice Department did not identify the defendant by name in its announcement, but confirmed that the individual had accumulated three prior federal cases before receiving the current sentence. The ten-year term was the punishment handed down in the most recent proceeding.
Federal prosecutions that result in lengthy sentences for repeat defendants are handled by the Justice Department, which made the sentencing announcement in this case. The department confirmed that the defendant's history as a three-time federal defendant was part of the record in the matter.
The Justice Department's announcement placed the total prison term at ten years for this individual, who had previously appeared as a federal defendant on three occasions before this sentencing.
