Clay Roueche Says he was "Disappointed to Get a 30-Year Sentence

Clay Roueche Says he was "Disappointed to Get a 30-Year Sentence - The Real Scoop: "convicted founder of the United Nations gang is hoping Judge Robert Lasnik will reduce his jail time Tuesday when he returns to a Seattle courtroom to be sentenced for the second time on drug smuggling charges.

Roueche's lawyer Sheryl Gordon McCloud has filed a 29-page sentencing memo, arguing forcefully against a repeat of the 30-year term Roueche was handed in December 2009. She said the U.S. Attorney has filed inflammatory and unsubstantiated information about Roueche and other members of the United Nations Gang. And it would be unfair if any of the material is used in Roueche's re-sentencing Tuesday, she said.

There are many new letters filed with the court - from Roueche's parents, from his sister, from his young daughters, from a former high school teacher and people who knew Roueche growing up.

But Roueche's letter is the longest - eight pages laying out his positive attributes and apologizing for his role in drug smuggling."
