The crux of the problem, in addition to the overprosecution by the State:

DA Todd Williams and ADA Alex James Bass should have no hesitancy in vacating the wrongful opioid trafficking conviction and allow a plea as offered prior to and at trial. Gordon was not able to cooperate with counsel, any number of them. It is only through my relationship with him that he finally was able to cooperate with counsel and understand the only rational choice, facing 18-24 year mandatory-minimum sentence, was to accept the State's plea offer. Now that he is able to cooperate with counsel, the conviction should be vacated and allow a time-served plea to be entered. Please keep the pressure on everyone.
