could avoid possible life sentences in prison.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cThe defendant (Kadeem) agrees to plead guilty to Count 1 of the superseding indictment, which charges the defendant with conspiracy to import cocaine, in violation of\u00a0Title 21, United States Code, Sections 963 and 952(a),\u201d according to the plea agreement.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Earlier this week, the prosecutors removed charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and attempted money laundering from the indictment the Maynards faced and agreed to recommend leniency at sentencing.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The agreement, however, hinges greatly on his full cooperation with prosecutors in their case against the former premier.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">According to the plea agreement, prosecutors determined that Kadeem was a \u201cminor participant\u201d in the criminal activity, and therefore should receive a two-level reduction at sentencing.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">He further agreed to forfeit to the United States any property constituting, or derived from, any proceeds obtained, directly or indirectly, as a result of such offence, and any property used, or intended to be used, in any manner or part, to commit, or to facilitate the commission of, such offence, pursuant to\u00a0Title 21, United States Code, Section 853.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The document further advised that the court may also impose a statutory maximum sentence of up to life imprisonment, followed by a term of supervised release of at least five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The Maynards each face \u201ca mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years\u201d unless the judge determines they are \u201csafety valve eligible\u201d, as stated in their plea agreements.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">They are now expected to be sentenced on August 21.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP
