All people have to do is use google to find out that Steven Lewis is a liar and a RAT. He was convicted of Federal charges to distribute Narcotics, where his mandatory sentence was TWENTY YEARS. He served less that ONE year thanks to his cooperation and testifying against his "Friends". He is a worthless and a LIAR

Ian Schrager (you can't even spell) was not a government informant. Went to jail for tax issues. Steven is a rat

if steve had ratted p.g. and all the rest would be in the clink right now. rats dont go to jail and they dont go on trial. he did. 20 is the maximum and 0 the minimum. its based on amount of drugs. in steve's case it was 6 pills, look it up bozo

friend of a legend:

federal law is the total amount of drugs in the conspiracy. If you can READ, the federal law does not prosecute for 6 pills. He was involved in a conspiracy of 100000 pills. And another of your lies, RATS do go to jail, (i.e Chris Paciello, Sammy Gravano) while they are testifying and then they get a reduction for their information. Your friend is a RAT

actually ur wrong i was at the trial almost everyday and with him when he decided not to rat despite his lawyers protest and at the sentencing and if he ratted why didnt he appear at any trial and on who did he rat. not peter and they offered him a full ride on that. who? as you are correct on the overall conspiacy even the govt, stipulated that steve saw no monies from drugs and could not reasonably understand the scope. he was only linked to 1 guy and the rest no. why so much hate, he kept quiet when he could have wrecked a lot of peeps. ill say hi for you, but unlike you hes out there not hiding behind anonymous like you... and me.. i owe him .. do you?

since when does the government prosecute a person and then state the defendant's defense for them? "the govt, stipulated that steve saw no monies from drugs and could not reasonably understand the scope. he was only linked to 1 guy and the rest no." In federal law, if you are found guilty of being involved in a conspiracy, you are on the hook for the ENTIRE CONSPIRACY. That is why there are so many people fighting the injustices of the disparity on Federal Sentencing Laws. Your make believe account would allow MILLIONS of people that are currently incarcerated to walk free. His case would be CASE LAW (Law of the Land) and anyone convicted of being involved in a drug conspiracy would be able to appeal thanks to your account of Steve (THE RAT) Lewis's case. Your and his lies are easy to pass on the ignorant, not on those that actually READ.

"The anomalous circuit, as is frequently the case on questions of criminal law, was the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which is based in San Francisco and covers nine Western states. The Ninth Circuit ruled in this case that to obtain a conviction under the Federal drug conspiracy statute, the Government had to prove not only the existence of a conspiracy, but that an "overt act" to further the conspiracy also took place.

But the drug conspiracy law, unlike the general Federal conspiracy statute, does not refer to overt acts. The drug law, which in its current form dates to 1988, provides simply that "any person who attempts or conspires to commit" any of a variety of drug crimes is guilty of conspiracy and is subject to the same penalties as those provided for the offense itself. " UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

ur wrong on the law and the facts. depending on the courts perception of the defendants role in the conspiracy a sentence rather than the top sentence is imposed. minor role sentences for instance in the case of a bodega owner who allows people to use his facility rather than actually deals himself places him within the conspiracy but not necessarily the top count.there are many other angles.and still the unanswered question is on who did he rat? when? name a name? why the trial when he could have walked with everyone else? when did he testify or where is he a confidential informant? which case? no reporter and this was covered in depth , ever said that he indeed ratted?many who didnt know him thought he might, but he always said no.look this was 10 years ago whats the beef? your just a hater..the government would have given him a free ride to testify against a guy. p.g. who he didnt like so why didnt he? google sentencing guidelines ,, there are a dozen ways to not get lumped into the overall 10000000000 u speak of. im done with this. i told steve about this , he says "hi"

"The U.S. Sentencing Commission changed the sentencing guidelines for ecstasy in 1999 after weighing the views of the Justice Department, which supported tougher sentences, and hearing from criminal lawyers and some medical researchers who opposed stiffer penalties on the grounds that they are excessive for a drug that is less dangerous than heroin or cocaine.

The new minimum guidelines call for sentences of between 63 months to 78 months for first time offenders."

And cooperation doesn't have to only include testifying at a trial. He is a rat. Explain how he got a sentence FIVE TIMES LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM!!! He's a rat.

case started in '96 those new rules didnt apply and you didnt answer the question you just asked another question..who did he testify against? which defendant in what case? pretty sure he's the only one who went to jail in the entire case. except for alig who murdered someone. the answer lies in something you touched on which is case law..there was no case law written and thats the answer....? now im really not coming back im going to get into trouble for the hint.. write steve at his blog ask questions and he says he will answer them,

So i am assuming that you are claiming that no one went to trial and beat it (Like P.G) because steve was his typical unbelievable self? It is a FACT that Steve contacted the NY District Attorney's office to cooperate. Fact that he gave sworn statements to the fed's and a fact that the federal commission on sentencing was in 1994!!!
