Anthony Macias, 30, was sentenced to five years in federal prison after pleading guilty to methamphetamine distribution.
SAN JOSE — A 30-year-old San Jose man who prosecutors say acted as a drug courier for his father’s drug trafficking organization received a five-year federal prison sentence, court records show.
The five-year term is the mandatory minimum under federal sentencing laws, and it’s also below the guideline recommendation for Anthony Macias. His attorneys wrote in a heavily redacted sentencing memo that he had been abused and frequently gone hungry as a child, and witnessed his neighbor being murdered in his East Palo Alto home at age 11.
