July 17, 2015, Circuit Court Judge Mark Borello granted Mr. Kent's Motion to Vacate Plea and Sentence filed on behalf of his client Obed Cintron, and concurrently reduced Mr. Cintron's sentence from thirty (30) years imprisonment to ten (10) years imprisonment - a twenty (20) year sentence reduction.  Mr. Cintron had pled without benefit of a plea agreement to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and six substantive cocaine sale counts and been sentenced some four years earlier.  The State announced that it would not appeal Judge Borello's ruling.
