President Trump has commuted the sentence of Boaz Nahmani, a first-time offender who was sentenced in July 2015 to
20 years (240 months) in prison for the distribution of synthetic marijuana.
Boaz, also known as Ronen, was found liable for selling smoking products for distribution in Massachusetts at a time when they were not regulated, but which were then resold by Ronen's customer at a time when the products were
unlawful.
He was given a severe 20-year sentence-the federal
statutory maximum for conspiring to possess controlled substances-because he went to trial to
dispute whether the products he was selling actually met the requirements of an analogue of marijuana.
Many legal scholars, as well as as prominent law enforcement officials defended Mr. Nahmani, including Alan Dershowitz, former FBI Director and federal judge Louis Freeh, former Attorney General Edwin Meese, the recently deceased Robert Morganthau and former AG Michael Mukasey.
In addition, many bipartisan members of Congress advocated for Mr. Nahmani, including @RepTedDeutch, @DWStweets, @RepJeffries, @RepMarkMeadows and @RepChrisSmith.
@RepTedDeutch @DWStweets @RepJeffries @RepMarkMeadows @RepChrisSmith But perhaps the most moving letter came from Mr. Nahmani's 11-year old daughter Ariella who pleaded with the President to free her dad so their lives wont be so "sad and miserable" anymore.
