Biography

Charged as a member ("King Hype") of the Greensboro chapter of the Almighty Latin King & Queen Nation. Indicted December 2011 in the federal RICO case against the Greensboro Latin Kings; *acquitted at trial November 21, 2012*.

The May 1, 2013 Cornell opinion records this defendant’s November 21, 2012 jury acquittal. That verdict is not proof of physical discharge, including discharge from a separate sentence. The former release field matched the acquittal day without a physical-release record; the day is retained as the verdict, not a custody endpoint.

Duration consistency review October 13, 2026: The stored exact day count has been cleared because this case does not have verified day-precision confinement endpoints or an independently documented exact number of days served. Existing approximate durations and sentencing descriptions are retained. No missing date has been guessed.
