Rayful Edmond generated $200,000 in commissions dealing drugs as an inmate at the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary
WILLIAMSPORT – The sentence of the biggest drug dealer in the District of Columbia in the late 1980s has been reduced but not to the extent he wanted.
The original sentence was imposed by the late Senior Judge Malcolm Muir in 1997 and ran consecutive to a life sentence imposed in the District of Columbia. A jury in 1989 found him guilty of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, interstate travel in aid of racketeering conspiracy and unlawfully employing a person under 18 years of age.
Edmond was sent to the then maximum-security Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary from which he operated a drug ring, the spokes of which extended from inner city Washington to cocaine cartels in Medellin, Colombia.He directed the money be paid into his and other inmates’ commissary accounts, to friends and associates in Washington, in some cases to attorneys in the D.C. area and to conspirators who agreed to hold the money for safe keeping.
