Weldon Angelos case : ウィキペディア英語版 | Weldon Angelos case The Weldon Angelos case was a case involving mandatory minimum sentences presented to the United States Supreme Court. The United States Supreme Court declined to hear the case. ==Background== Weldon Angelos, the son of a Greek immigrant and founder of a rap record company, was accused of selling marijuana to a police informant on several occasions worth a total of $350; the witness stated that Angelos had a firearm strapped to his body, but no photographs or evidence existed other than his testimony,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sasha Abramsky: The Dope Dealer Who Got 55 Years - The Progressive )〕 and Angelos never used or brandished his gun.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gluttons for Punishment )〕 However, section 924(c) of the federal code provides for mandatory sentences for dealers who carry firearms during their drug transactions; meaning Angelos, who had no prior criminal record, was sentenced in November 2004 to a minimum of 55 years to 63 years in prison.
