Convicted drug dealers Marcus D. Allen, Michelle Georgette Byars, Oscar Frye, Wendy Lynn Keller and Donald Elba Hale have received lighter sentences, while U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers will consider a reduction for Bobby Melrose on September 20th.

Hernandez, a 25 year-old Mexican national, pleaded guilty last month. His sentencing is set for November 22nd.
