Luis Felipe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luis Felipe is a Cuban immigrant to the United States and founder of the New York chapter of the Almighty Latin Kings and Queens Nation. He was convicted of ordering murders from prison by writing to his minions on the outside. Judge John S. Martin Jr. sentenced him to life imprisonment plus 45 years.

Additionally, the judge added some extraordinary conditions. Surprising even prosecutors, Judge Martin said Mr. Felipe must serve the sentence in solitary confinement. He forbade him to write or be visited by anyone except his lawyer and close relatives, of whom Mr. Felipe has none. Finally, the judge said that he himself, rather than the Federal Bureau of Prisons, would control the case.
