sentence<\/a> for which he is to be incarcerated until December 16, 2026. On October 11, 2001, Hill was charged with conspiracy to manufacture a mixture or substance of methamphetamine in an amount of 50 grams or more, attempt to manufacture a mixture or substance of methamphetamine, and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. At the conclusion of a trial by jury, Hill\u00a0 was found guilty of all counts, and on June 13, 2002, he was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 360 months, followed by an 8 year period of supervised release on the first two counts and 6 years on the third count.<\/p>\nWhile the Government challenged his motion for compassionate release, citing Hill\u2019s criminal history prior to being incarcerated, the court noted that at this point, Hill has served more than two-thirds of his sentence and is scheduled to be released in approximately five years. Additionally, Hill\u2019s behavior while incarcerated weighs in his favor. He has demonstrated largely good behavior, availed himself of numerous educational classes and completed payment of the court-order assessment. Additionally working in his favor, is Hill\u2019s post-release plan; he plans to live with his brother, a plan that has been approved by a probation officer.<\/p>\n
The most compelling factor in Hill\u2019s case is cancer of his thyroid gland and vocal chords, which will require nuclear therapy to be followed with endocrinology and oncology. The judge noted the importance that Hill receive this treatment and also asserted that this course of medical treatment would seem to substantially limit any ability for Hill to engage in further criminal conduct. Hill\u2019s motion for compassionate release was granted, allowing him time to begin cancer treatment outside a prison setting and to reconnect with family while doing so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
