Fernandez v. United States · ¶19

Fernandez's cousin and alleged co-conspirator, Patrick Darge, testified against him at trial. To discredit Darge, Fernandez's counsel argued that Darge was framing Fernandez to protect the real second shooter, Darge's brother. Unconvinced, the jury convicted Fernandez of murder for hire and a frearms offense. See 18 U. S. C. §§924(j), 1958. The District Court then imposed two consecutive life sentences.
