Charceil Kellam #059920-084

CHARGE: conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine

SENTENCE: two life without parole sentences

YEARS IN PRISON: over 10 years

AGE: 51

WHY CHARCEIL'S LIFE SENTENCE SHOULD BE REDUCED

If Charceil was sentenced to powder cocaine as opposed to crack cocaine she would be out of prison already
Charceil is not a kingpin or any type of drug leader. Her sentenced was so severe because she would not cooperate and because she had two minor state charges
Charceil is the mother to two young children Elijah and Nyjah
Charceil received a higher sentence than her co-defendant's, despite the fact she did not commit any acts of violence.
Sentencing Judge Conrad stated, "To me, it's over the top," [] I know it's more than I would have sentenced you to if Ihad been left to my own discretion and devices. It's been taken out of my own hands. I can assure you that if the law permits it, I will reduce your sentence because ..I think the period of life imprisonment that is mandated by the statue is somewhat out of proportion to the circumstance of your case."
